As reports from England suggest, City’s keen interest in the left-back accelerated renewal talks with Chilwell, who has now agreed on terms of the extension to commit to the Blues until 2027. Chilwell joined the London outfit from Leicester City in a £ 50 million deal in five-year contract, winning the Champions League in the first season.

Chilwell, who clearly sits ahead of summer arrival Marc Cucurella in the left-back position and despite his injury still registered 19 Premier League appearances this season, was surprisingly excluded from the starting lineup in the Wolves trip last weekend, as new manager Frank Lampard started his second managerial job at the club with a 1-0 loss. The game brought in light the dismal nature of Chelsea’s loss on Saturday as how much he was missed when he doesn’t start.
Interim boss Lampard now faces a huge challenge in the midweek, as Chelsea makes a trip to Spain as they face Real Madrid in the Champions League quarterfinal first leg clash.
