Chelsea have reportedly made offloading Ben Chilwell their priority target for the January transfer window due to his limited playing time under Enzo Maresca. Chilwell was anticipated to depart from Stamford Bridge during the summer after being included in the Blues’ ‘bomb squad’, but he did not manage to secure a transfer and has only featured once this season. According to The Athletic, Chelsea’s hierarchy is prioritizing Chilwell's sale ahead of the January window. Brentford had been associated with a potential move for the 28-year-old during the summer.

Chelsea defender Ben Chilwell has not secured a transfer despite interest from clubs like Brentford. Enzo Maresca expressed a desire to offload Chilwell this summer, but no offers have been received. Chilwell's high weekly salary of €240,000 (£200,000) is a stumbling block for potential suitors, according to The Sun. Maresca acknowledged that Chilwell might push for a move in January due to lack of playing time.

Chelsea could ship Ben Chilwell out on loan for the next season and a half. Brentford is one of the clubs tracking him as a target.

Chelsea are considering sending Ben Chilwell out on an 18-month loan to avoid selling him in 2025. Brentford could offer Chilwell the chance to remain in London.
