Crystal Palace are interested in signing Ben Chilwell from London and Premier League rivals Chelsea in the January transfer window, according to Mick Brown in Football Insider.
The former Manchester United and Blackburn Rovers chief scout has claimed that he has heard that the Eagles are showing interest in the left-back.
Brown told Football Insider: “I’ve heard Palace have shown an interest in Ben Chilwell. We’ve spoken before about Tyrick Mitchell and his future, and whether clubs could be interested in him.
“And a new left-back is something Palace have been looking to bring in because they haven’t got a lot of depth in that position. It wasn’t long ago he was an England international, and I don’t know the extent of his injury issues and what they’ve meant for him, but Palace will know all about it.
“It’s getting late in the transfer window as well, so options are limited. The opportunity to bring him in on loan has also come up since Chalobah went back to Chelsea.
“He’d do a good job for Palace. He’d be a good fit in their side. Plus, he lives in London so it’s a move that would suit all three parties.“
Chiwell has been completely frozen out at Chelsea by head coach Enzo Maresca and has made just one appearance all season.
