Leicester City Eyes Chilwell Return
Leicester City is exploring the possibility of bringing back former academy player Ben Chilwell on loan from Chelsea.
The 27-year-old defender has struggled for playing time at Chelsea and could be open to a move back to his former club.
Leicester, who have been struggling defensively this season, see Chilwell as a potential solution to their problems. Manager Steve Cooper is reportedly a big fan of the defender and is monitoring the situation closely ahead of the January transfer window.
Chelsea may be willing to loan out Chilwell as they manage their squad and look to address their own defensive needs.
With Marc Cucurella and Renato Veiga ahead of Chilwell in the pecking order, a loan move could be beneficial for both the player and the club.
A return to Leicester would mark a homecoming for Chilwell, who spent several years in the club’s academy before joining Chelsea in 2020. It remains to be seen if a deal can be finalized between the two clubs.
