Crystal Palace has confirmed Ben Chilwell from Chelsea until the end of the season.
The left -wing Back fell out of grace at the blues after the arrival of Enzo Maresca on Stamford Bridge, so that this season only one performance for Chelsea in the EFL Cup and played 45 minutes against Barrow.
In general, Chilwell made 107 performances for Chelsea in all competitions and registered 11 assists at the time. He also helped them to win the Champions League and the UEFA Super Cup.
His signing illuminates part of the pressure on the side of Oliver Glasner after recent defensive injuries, in which Chadi Riad recently suffers a front cruciate ligament (ACL) injury that has excluded him the rest of the season.

“I am very excited to be here,” said Chilwell. “Crystal Palace is a club that goes in a great direction.
“You look at the last few months, with the results and how the team plays, and it was a no-brainer to make the decision to get here.”
Chairman Steve Parish said: “Ben has experience at the highest level of European and international football. I am happy that he has been on loan and we believe that he will turn out to be a great addition to the team.”
However, Palace has also seen two editions on Deadline Day, in which midfielder Jeffrey Schlupp joins Celtic for the rest of the season, while Rob Holding made the switch to Sheffield United until the end of 2024-25.
