West Ham United, would be interested in the addition of a full-back for the upcoming winter market. According to close sources, the team led by Julen Lopetegui, would be interested in signing former Leicester City player, Ben Chilwell.

Ben Chilwell, current player at Chelsea, is going through one of the worst seasons at the "Blues" team. Enzo Maresca, has made it clear that he doesn't count on him. The lack of playing time suggests that his future at Chelsea is distant, with teams like Leicester City showing interest in signing him.

West Ham's interest in Chilwell is largely due to the defensive needs the team has shown in the first half of the season. Julen has noticed that his team needs a solid reinforcement in the left-back position, which has become particularly delicate after some necessary injuries and rotations. Chilwell's arrival would not only provide depth to the squad but also inject a good amount of experience and quality.

His future is outside of Chelsea.

In recent seasons, Chilwell has missed a large part of the games due to injuries, his role in the club has been fluctuating, which could pave the way for an exit in search of more stability and prominence.

His market value is 22 million euros, having suffered a significant drop in the last years. Chelsea aims to profit from the English player. Rumors suggest that the board has valued Ben Chilwell at around 15 million euros.
