Ahead of the January transfer window, Borussia Dortmund is reportedly interested in Chelsea left-back Ben Chilwell since the Bundesliga team needs reinforcements in that position. After losing Ian Maatsen, who was on loan from Chelsea the previous season but ultimately transferred to Aston Villa, Dortmund is eager to bolster their roster, according to Team Talk. According to reports, Chilwell and Milos Kerkez of Bournemouth are at the top of their list.
The England international, who has battled injury concerns while at Stamford Bridge, is reportedly eager to leave Chelsea. Chilwell is a gifted player, but his effect for the Blues has been restricted due to his ongoing fitness issues. Chelsea would probably profit from his transfer since it would free up wages and enable them to restructure their team.
Dortmund’s Interest
If Chilwell can get past his injury issues, Dortmund, who have a reputation for reviving players’ careers, might view him as a beneficial addition. The German team, which has also retained Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez as a backup, would benefit from his experience and skill at left-back. But the biggest doubt still surrounds Chilwell’s fitness, and Dortmund would require guarantees on his long-term well-being.
Chilwell and Chelsea will both need to make moves during the January transfer window as the Blues try to let go of a player who might flourish elsewhere given the correct circumstances.
