    Chelsea in major Ben Chilwell transfer dilemma as they face uphill battle to offload £190k-a-week outcast

    CHELSEA face an uphill battle to offload outcast Ben Chilwell.The England left-back, 28, earns about £190,000 a week and will not take a pay cut just to make it easy for boss Enzo Maresca to get him out.Chelsea could struggle to offload out-of-favour Ben ChilwellCredit: PAThe full-back has made just one appearance this seasonCredit: GettyThe Blues may end up having to hand their Champions League winner a huge severance deal or heavily subsidise a loan to another Prem club.Chilwell has not played a single minute of top-flight football this season and was part of the ‘bomb squad’ told last summer that they have no future at the club under Maresca.Chelsea have until February 3 to get Chilwell and others off the books in the winter transfer window.That includes £20million midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka who has started only one game since August 2023 but still has 3½ years left on his contract.READ MORE ON CHELSEAChilwell is frustrated at his lack of first-team action and unhappy at being so far down the pecking order.He has played only one half of one match this season – a 45-minute appearance as a second half sub against Barrow in the Carabao Cup back in September.Chilwell was not even registered for the club’s Conference League squad for the group stages.Maresca previously said he has sympathy with the likes of out of favour Chilwell but he does not plan to change his stance.Most read in FootballFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSThe Italian said: “There are players that unfortunately they didn’t play a lot with us in all the competitions, like Chilwell, like Carney.“Probably they are the first that want to leave as they work every day, they train every day, they want to play games — and if they don’t play games they are thinking of leaving.Enzo Maresca’s brutal warning to Chelsea stars after Madueke dropped for Fulham defeat and summer signing axed entirely “So we’re going to see if some of them are coming to knock on the door and say I want to leave. For each player it’s a different situation.”But it will not be easy persuading the England Euro 2020 finalist to accept a pay reduction in order to quit Stamford Bridge.Chilwell joined Chelsea from Leicester in a £50million deal back in August 2020.The full-back has since amassed a total of nine goals and 12 assists in 107 appearances.Chilwell has also won the Champions League as well as the Uefa Super Cup with the Blues in 2021.Chelsea are currently paying more than £200,000 of Raheem Sterling’s £300,000-a-week wages while he is on loan at Prem rivals Arsenal.Chelsea’s Chilwell conundrumCHELSEA know only too well how there is no time for settling in new players during the January transfer window.The ink had barely dried on a then-British-record £107million deal for Enzo Fernandez before he was kitted out in blue and playing 90 minutes on his debut against Fulham in February 2023.It was precisely a week after the midfielder’s swansong for Benfica and less than two months since winning the World Cup with Argentina in Qatar.New year signings have to hit the ground running. It was the same first time around for forward Joao Felix and for winger Mykhailo Mudryk.Which is where the forthcoming attempt to get defender Ben Chilwell out of Chelsea this month hits a major snag.The latest transfer window has just been thrown open and managers in need of a quick fix are scouring the scouting databases to see who can save their season.Chilwell, 28, has played just 45 minutes of first-team football this season — as a second-half sub in a one-sided Carabao Cup victory over League Two Barrow on September 24.Since then he has made the bench once — in the next round when Chelsea got knocked out. And that’s it.Not a single minute of Premier League action, with the first half of the season gone.It is fair to say that a player with more than 200 senior games behind him is rustier than the wreck of the Titanic stuck more than two miles down in the North Atlantic since 1912.Among the many items demanding the attention of new England manager Thomas Tuchel, who started his reign yesterday, Chilwell’s predicament must be one of the most confusing.After all the German, when manager at Stamford Bridge, felt confident enough in his ability to play his attacking left-sider for the shock victory over Manchester City in the Champions League final of 2021.Three-and-a-half years later and he might need help from the police to find his one-time first- choice full-back.On paper, Chilwell looks just the player to bolster any Premier League squad wishing to add pace and experience to its defence.For the likes of Ipswich, Wolves, Southampton, right up to Manchester United — currently missing Luke Shaw — he would be the perfect off-the-shelf cover man. There is no doubting his quality.In the fickle world of football, a player with 21 international caps is considered unsuitable by Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca — and in this business that’s fair enough.But trying to market one of the most high-profile casualties of Maresca’s so-called ‘bomb squad’ is not going to be easy when it is hard to find even a photo of him in Blues kit from the past half a year.Chelsea may well end up following a similar path to that which managed to secure forward Raheem Sterling a last-minute release from mothballs at Stamford Bridge and a loan deal to Arsenal.More than two-thirds of Sterling’s £300,000-a-week wages are still being paid by his parent club.Chilwell — bought in 2020 from Leicester, where he came through the youth ranks — does not earn as much as Sterling. He picks up about£190,000 a week, which is still a hefty sum.But after six months in the doldrums, potential suitors will drive an extremely hard bargain to take a punt on an undoubted top-class footballer.However, he is  one who may need his boiler warmed up like an old locomotive before getting up to full steam.In an ideal world, Chilwell would leave permanently this month. He is surely unhappy not playing and Chelsea would like to get him off the payroll and recoup some cash in the shape of a transfer fee.But that too could be complicated. With the player under contract until 2027, he could choose to perch in the stands and sit tight for the next two and a half years —  earning nearly £25m in the process.That is unlikely. But the option is there to stick it out in the way fellow left-back Wayne Bridge did at Manchester City for four years after being frozen out. More

    Brentford 1 Arsenal 3: Gunners start 2025 with a bang as Jesus, Merino and Martinelli seal fightback win from 1-0 down

    AS the Premier League season reached its halfway point, there is a flicker of hope that we might have a contest for the title. Mikel Arteta’s obdurate, steely, resourceful Arsenal claimed a comeback victory at one of the toughest venues this competition has to offer – as goals from Gabriel Jesus, Mikel Merino and Gabriel Martinelli completed a perfect festive season for the Gunners. Arsenal mob Gabriel Martinelli after he made it 3-1 early in the second halfCredit: AlamyGabriel Jesus sparked victory with this spectacular equaliserCredit: ReutersJesus is suddenly in lethal form, there was yet another goal from a corner and the 17-year-old Ethan Nwaneri enjoyed a promising first league start as the Arsenal made light of the absence of four first-choice starters.Over 12 days of Christmas football, they have claimed a maximum nine points – the only problem being that runaway leaders Liverpool have done the same.Arsenal trail Arne Slot’s Red men by six points, having played a game more than the leaders. Arteta’s perennial runners-up are hoping for a miraculous collapse from the Anfield club but at least they are showing themselves capable of building a relentless run of their own to keep in contention, just as they did in the opening months of 2024.   READ MORE ON ARSENALBrentford, who have enjoyed so many thrilling wins here at their house of fun in the shadows of the Chiswick flyover, seized an early lead through Bryan Mbeumo’s tenth goal of the season. But Arsenal – rarely pretty, but usually pretty effective – gritted their teeth and dragged it back on a cold, soggy Hounslow day.  With Bukayo Saka a long-term absentee and Kai Havertz struck down by illness, Arteta handed Nwaneri a full league debut at the ground where he’d made his first appearance off the bench as a 15-year-old schoolboy two seasons ago. The Gunners boss made four changes in all – Declan Rice, not fully fit, dropped to the bench in favour of Merino, with Riccardo Calafiori replacing young full-back Myles Lewis-Skelly.Most read in FootballEthan Nwaneri especially impressed before the breakCredit: GettyFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSBrentford had been wobbly of late – winless in four games, and without a goal in two, having had their outstanding home record dented by a 2-0 defeat by Nottingham Forest on their last outing at the Gtech Stadium. Thomas Frank welcomed back Sepp van den Berg at centre-half, while Yehor Yormoliuk slotted into midfield. Chrissy Teigen in sweary rant at British ‘knbs and tts’ after backlash over mistaking major error after watching Arsenal playAnd the Bees started with a bang, scoring with their first serious effort on goal.Mikkel Damsgaard’s well-weighted through-ball released Mbeumo, who cut inside from the right and drilled in a shot which beat David Raya at his near post. Raya, facing his former club, almost blundered more spectacularly just before the half-hour when he spilled a straightforward Keane Lewis-Potter shot and had to recover with an acrobatic effort to claw it back off from the line, preventing a second Brentford goal by inches. Arsenal were bossing possession but Brentford started the sharper, more purposeful side, winning a succession of 50-50s.Then, just as Arsenal were threatening to subside, they equalised. Thomas Partey lashed a shot from the edge of the area, Mark Flekken pushed it out but Jesus reacted quickest and met the rebound with a diving header. It was the Brazilian’s sixth goal in four games – the rest of them all against Crystal Palace – and it was a lifeline the Gunners barely merited. Arteta’s men were buoyed by their goal and pinned Brentford back for the rest of the half.Martinelli fired the Gunners’ clincher on just 53 minutesCredit: GettyMikel Merino put the visitors in front shortly after the breakCredit: GettyBryan Mbeumo slotted Brentford ahead in the 13th minuteCredit: ReutersDamsgaard floored Jesus with what looked like an accidental elbow and VAR found nothing to get excited about. At the start of the second half, Arsenal took a complete stranglehold on proceedings – scoring twice in the space of two minutes, with Nwaneri playing his part in both.The kid had threatened without much end product in the first period but five minutes after the restart, he whipped in a corner, Flekken completely botched his punch, Jesus had a shot blocked and Spanish midfielder Merino pounced to poke home. It was Arsenal’s 25th Premier League goal from a corner since the start of last season – nine more than any other club.Arsenal ratings vs BrentfordARSENAL came from a goal down to triumph 3-1 over Brentford on New Year’s Day.Here’s how the players rated…DAVID RAYA – 6Beaten at his near post by Mbeumo but not helped by slack defending.
