A few weeks in the past there was quite a lot of hypothesis going round about Manchester Metropolis eager to signal Ben Chilwell, so naturally there was some considerations from Blues followers.
Now, we will formally put that story down, nicely not fairly formally but, however nearly as good as. As a result of Ornstein is reporting that Chilwell is ready to signal a brand new 4-year contract extension at Chelsea, seeing him stay on the membership till at the very least 2027.
That is huge information. Chilwell has been very good for Chelsea since arriving from Leicester Metropolis, mockingly as a Frank Lampard signing.
Regardless of being affected by a few accidents, he’s develop into a vastly vital participant for Chelsea in additional methods than one.
Not solely does he convey high quality and is simply an excellent soccer participant, he brings the mentality that we lack. He has management qualities and at all times fights for the badge and for his group mates. His vitality and keenness is what we lack, and getting him tied all the way down to a brand new longer contract is simply nearly as good as any new signing we will make.
If Pep Guardiola comes sniffing round, then you understand you’ve got one thing about you. And Chilwell definitely has.
Let’s get this one over the road and get it formally, and nicely achieved to our homeowners for getting this one sorted out early, and seemingly with out drama. Props to them, nice outcome!
What we have to do after that is give Ian Maatsen a spot in our squad and promote Marc Cucurella.
