Ben Chilwell's future at Chelsea is uncertain as the club has put a large number of players up for sale this summer. The left-back believes that one of his fellow teammates, who is also part of Chelsea's notorious 'bomb squad', is the most underrated player at Stamford Bridge. This squad includes players like Raheem Sterling, Romelu Lukaku, Kepa Arrizabalaga, and Trevoh Chalobah, who Chilwell personally rates highly.
Chalobah has been with Chelsea since he was eight years old and has made 80 appearances for the first team. Despite featuring heavily in the past three seasons, he has been deemed surplus to requirements by the new Chelsea boss, Enzo Maresca. In fact, Chalobah was one of the first players to be excluded from training at the start of the month. Rumors have linked him to clubs like Crystal Palace, Tottenham, and Bayern Munich, but Chilwell believes it would be a mistake for Chelsea to let him go.
When asked about the most underrated player at Stamford Bridge, Chilwell told Fubo, "I personally just love watching Trev play. I think he's a brilliant athlete, good on the ball, and Chelsea through and through. Personally, I think Trev is the most underrated player. He's the one that comes to mind."
Maresca recently admitted that it was a "sad decision" to leave Chalobah out of Chelsea's pre-season tour of the United States. "From my point of view, it's always sad to leave players out," he said. "That can be out of a pre-season, or out of the squad or out of the first eleven because in the end they all work for the same target, which is to be part of the same team. The Trevoh situation for me is quite clear."
He went on to explain that they have other players in the squad who can fill Chalobah's role, such as Axel Disasi, Tosin Adarabioyo, and Wes Fofana. Maresca also mentioned young players like Josh Acheampong, who has been performing well. "It's a sad decision, but we have to take the decision," he added.
While Chilwell is also part of Chelsea's 'bomb squad', he may not leave the club after Friday's transfer deadline due to a lack of substantial interest. Although Manchester United has been linked with the England international, they are not expected to make an offer to Chelsea.
