United Step Up Chilwell Talks Amid Sancho and Sterling Swap Rumors
We’re just hours away from the Premier League transfer deadline, and the gossip mill is still churning out some serious juicy stuff! Manchester United are reportedly "stepping up" talks with Chelsea regarding a move for left-back Ben Chilwell, according to The Independent.
United have been on the hunt for a new left-back for some time now, with Luke Shaw’s injury struggles leaving them with a real problem on their hands. And with Chilwell, they might just have found the solution they’ve been searching for. The 27-year-old England international has had a solid stint at Chelsea, racking up over 100 appearances and providing three goals and seven assists.
The talks between United and Chelsea are said to be separate from those surrounding Raheem Sterling and Jadon Sancho, with all four parties hoping to find a resolution before the deadline. As we reported earlier, there are rumors of a potential swap deal between United and Chelsea, with Sterling heading to Old Trafford and Sancho making the opposite journey. It’s certainly an intriguing idea, but we’re not sure if both clubs are ready to part with their prized assets just yet.
Despite the valuations of Chilwell being significantly different between the two clubs, talks are reportedly ongoing. If United can strike a deal, they might just find themselves with a top-notch left-back who can provide some much-needed competition and depth to their squad.
