With Chilwell absent, Chelsea studies hiring Digne

THE Chelsea is studying the hiring of left-back Lucas Digne, currently at Everton. The Blues are looking for a replacement for Ben Chilwell, who will undergo knee surgery and is unlikely to act again this season.

Currently, coach Thomas Tuchel has only Marcos Alonso as a reliable option on the left wing. Saúl, Hudson-Odoi and Pulisic have already done this function, but they are improvisations.

In addition to Digne, Chelsea’s board monitored the situation of Milan’s Theo Hernández, but his high price makes any deal difficult. The information was released by the English newspaper The Guardian.

Fabrizio Romano, a journalist specializing in the market, said that Sergiño Dest is seen with affection and Nicolás Tagliafico also came to the fore.

Chelsea are in third place in the Premier League with 41 points, six less than Manchester City. Current champions of the Champions League, the Blues can face Palmeiras in the Club World Cup.
