Ben Chilwell facing 'uncertain' Chelsea future after Enzo Maresca arrival as head coach

Premier League

Leicester

Former Leicester City boss Maresca, who replaced Mauricio Pochettino as Chelsea boss earlier this summer, is set to bring wholesale changes to the squad. According to <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2024/07/02/chelsea-kiernan-dewsbury-hall-enzo-maresca-swiss-army/" target="_blank">The Telegraph</a>, the<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/enzo-maresca-pep-guardiola-football-chelsea-todd-boehly-gamble-leicester-promotion/blt302ec6d06abdc441" target="_blank"> Italian boss prefers to work with players who can be deployed in multiple positions</a> and the approach is reportedly being called the 'Swiss Army Knife' masterplan.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Chelsea are <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/arsenal-offer-riccardo-calafiori-italy-bologna-transfer-chelsea/blt132a128709834687" target="_blank">eyeing a move for Italy's left-footed defender Riccardo Calafiori</a> as Maresca looks to deploy him either as a left-back in a four-man backline, or a left centre-back in a back three. In the case of a three-man backline, Reece James and Marc Cucurella could go up on the pitch on the right and left flanks as wing-backs or can be used as an inverted midfielders.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The report further adds that England international Chilwell could see himself surplus to Maresca's needs this summer along with Trevoh Chalobah, while Conor Gallagher's future remains uncertain amid continued interest from Tottenham and Aston Villa.

DID YOU KNOW?

The Blues will begin their pre-season this Thursday with the players who are not participating at Euro 2024. The rest of the team is expected to regroup later this month before they <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/chelsea-pre-season-2024-tour-fixtures-results-tickets-watch/blt0990f1d5d5bc8839" target="_blank">head to the US for pre-season friendlies</a>.
