Chelsea plot loan move for Ben Chilwell

Chelsea defender Ben Chilwell could be on the move with a potential short-term loan deal on the horizon, as Turkish giants Galatasaray and Fenerbahce circle.

The 27-year-old has found himself out of favour under new head coach Enzo Maresca, who has left training separately from the main squad.

Reports suggest that Chilwell is reluctant to accept a pay cut, meaning the Blues may have to cover a significant portion of his wages for any temporary deal to proceed.

With the Turkish transfer window closing on September 13, a resolution is expected soon. A move to Turkey would be a stopgap, as Chilwell reportedly favours a return to the Premier League later in his career.

This situation presents an interesting dilemma for the West Londoners, who may look to offload him permanently after January.
