Former Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper, Paul Robinson, has urged Ben Chilwell to leave Chelsea because he has been frozen out of manager Enzo Maresca’s squad.
Robinson wants Chilwell to join Chelsea’s Premier League rivals West Ham United in the January transfer window.
Chilwell is currently having a difficult period at Stamford Bridge as he has only featured once for Chelsea this season.
He was advised to leave the club over the summer by Maresca, who wanted the England international to find new club.
“A loan deal [to West Ham] would do the trick,” Robinson said on The Inside Track podcast.
“Ben Chilwell is a very, very good player who has been frozen out at Chelsea.
“For his international hopes as well [he needs to leave]. Location-wise it works for him too, it’s another London club so you’re not uprooting your family.
“We do see some big deals done in January. A move like that could be a summer one but that would be a short-team solution for Chilwell and Chelsea.
