Scouting Report & Player Insights
Ben Chilwell is an attack-minded left-back known for his pace, overlapping runs and dangerous left-footed crossing, qualities that made him a mainstay for Chelsea and England before persistent knee injuries disrupted his career. After falling out of the picture at Chelsea, he moved to Strasbourg in Ligue 1 seeking regular football to rebuild form and fitness. When healthy he offers genuine attacking threat from full-back, though his defensive recovery pace and durability are now question marks.
Established himself as Chelsea's first-choice left-back after joining from Leicester City in 2020.
Part of England's Euro 2020 squad.
Missed extended periods with ACL and hamstring injuries across recent seasons.
