Enzo Maresca opens door to three Chelsea January exits - and it's good news for Man Utd

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has opened the door for three Chelsea exits next month. Ben Chilwell, Carney Chukwuemeka and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall could all depart for pastures new upon the opening of the transfer window. The Blues are flying high but saw some players train away from the first team in the summer ahead of possible transfers before returning to the fold.
Chilwell was such a player, and the west London side were unable to facilitate a move in the summer. The former Leicester City defender has featured for just 45 minues in the Carabao Cup this term and not made it into a Premier League squad, and drew interest from Manchester United ahead of 2024/25.
Chukwuemeka has seen an identical predicament domestically but earned more minutes in the Europa Conference League. Maresca has conceded that moves could be on the horizon for both players. "There are players that unfortunately didn't play a lot with us in all the competitions, like Chilwell, like Carney," he said ahead of facing Everton.
"Probably they are the first [to say] that they want to leave because they train every day, because they want to play games and if they don't play games probably they are thinking of leaving. Each player is a bit [of a] different situation, so we're going to see if some of them are coming and knocking on the door to say 'I want to leave' or something like that. We will try to find a solution.".
