Chelsea ready to stump up MILLIONS to offload Ben Chilwell as details of Crystal Palace transfer emerge

CHELSEA are ready to stump up almost £2million in wages to give Ben Chilwell the chance of a fresh start. The defender is on his way to Crystal Palace on loan with a medical scheduled for today. And the Blues have agreed to pay half the player's £190k a week wages until the contract expires on June 30. That means Palace and his parent club will split his £95k a week pay. Chilwell, 28, was told last summer that he has no future at Chelsea under incoming boss Enzo Maresca.

He has played only 45 minutes of football since - against League Two Barrow in the Carabao Cup back in September. Palace want a left-sided player and Chilwell can play either full back or as a centre half. Chelsea loaned centre half Trevoh Chalobah to Palace during last summer but recalled him two weeks ago to cover a defensive shortage. Chilwell joined Chelsea from Leicester in a £45million deal in 2020.
