Crystal Palace snap up Chelsea Champions League winner on deadline day

Transfer News: West Ham set to sign 28-year-old Chelsea star after Babayaro comments

Crystal Palace have completed a major coup on transfer deadline day as they aim to finish the season strong.

Chelsea left-back Ben Chilwell has joined Crystal Palace on loan for the rest of the season.

The 26-year-old England international has not made a Premier League appearance since April 2024 and was informed last August that he was not part of Chelsea’s plans.

Chilwell’s only appearance this season came in the Carabao Cup win against Barrow in September, and manager Enzo Maresca had previously stated that Chilwell, who is contracted until 2027, was free to leave.

In a statement on Crystal Palace’s website, Chilwell expressed his excitement about the move:

“I’m very excited to be here. Crystal Palace is a club that’s going in a great direction.

“You look at the last few months, with the results and how the team’s playing and it was a no-brainer to make the decision to come here.”

Chilwell joined Chelsea from Leicester City in 2020 on a five-year deal worth £45m, with his contract later extended in April 2023.
