Ben Chilwell’s Stamford Bridge future looks increasingly uncertain, with the left-back still yet to secure a permanent move away — www.naijnaira.com reports.

Enzo Maresca has been open about his preference for other options at full-back, telling reporters last year: “Chilwell is a top full-back, but I see others doing different jobs in the team.” After a loan spell at Crystal Palace, the England international has returned, but Jorrel Hato’s arrival from Ajax for £37m, taking Chilwell’s No. 21 shirt, suggests an exit is close.

Maresca is already planning to hand Hato his debut in friendlies against Bayer Leverkusen and AC Milan this week. “He’s much more mature than his age,” the Chelsea boss said, while stressing the need for the teenager to adapt to England’s pace and intensity. Hato is expected to feature heavily once the Premier League season begins.
