Chelsea are desperate to part ways with a number of players this summer, however are struggling to secure the exit of one long-term servant.<\/p>\n

With player trading a key element of Behdad Eghbali\u2019s running of the club<\/a>, the Blues have found themselves having a stacked squad of players to choose from.<\/p>\n

There have been examples of where this has caused issues, and Enzo Maresca<\/a> arrived with a \u2018bomb squad\u2019 which mostly found their appearances come in the group stage of the Conference League.<\/p>\n

There was an effort to move on a number of these players in January, however they had to settle for loans for the likes of Renato Veiga<\/a>, Joao Felix and Axel Disasi.<\/p>\n

Another player they could not find a permanent suitor for was Ben Chilwell<\/a>. He instead made a loan move to Crystal Palace, where he became an FA Cup winner for the first time in his career.<\/p>\n

Chilwell featured in Enzo Maresca\u2019s first game in charge during pre-season<\/a>, however only made one first team appearance in the EFL Cup before it became clear he was not in the plans at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

It was even reported that Chelsea were willing to sell Chilwell for just \u00a315m<\/a> this month, although even that is proving to be a struggle.<\/p>\n

According to The Athletic<\/a>, no clubs have come in to try and sign the England international yet, meaning he is therefore set to stay at the club.<\/p>\n

Maresca admitted he was ashamed<\/a> about how they had treated Chilwell, describing the defender as \u2018very professional\u2019 in how he had dealt with not playing.<\/p>\n

With Veiga also set to leave, it has become clear that Chelsea need to sign a new left-back to compete with Marc Cucurella.<\/p>\n

The Blues are closing in on signing Jorrel Hato<\/a> from Ajax, with both clubs expected to compromise on their requested transfer fee.<\/p>\n

Hato is set to sign an eight-year deal at Chelsea<\/a>, seeing the club take the youthful route again at the expense of Chilwell.<\/p>\n

For a side looking for an attacking left-back, the Englishman still has a lot to offer, and he certainly has the quality to still be playing in a top division in Europe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chelsea are desperate to part ways with a number of players this summer, however are struggling to secure…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":45272,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[35857,403,99],"class_list":["post-45271","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-ben-chilwell","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45271","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45271"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45271\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/45272"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45271"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=45271"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45271"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
