Ben Chilwell is set to move to Crystal Palace on loan until the end of the season after the Eagles agreed a deal with Chelsea.

The England international will move across London on transfer deadline day, as long as he passes a medical at Selhurst Park, reports The Telegraph.

The 28-year-old has not made a single Premier League appearance this season after being reduced to a member of Chelsea’s notorious ‘bomb squad’ under Enzo Maresca.

A string of first team players were largely ostracised from Maresca’s first team plans at the start of the season, with Chilwell being one of the more senior of those stars.

Since then the left-back has made just one Carabao Cup appearance against Barrow, left out of contention at Stamford Bridge.

An exit at the end of the summer transfer window could not be found, but it appears that Chilwell will now get his move.

However, given his long and torrid history with injuries, it is not a certainty that the former Leicester man will pass his Eagles medical, so all parties will await confirmation on Monday.

Despite not even picking him on the substitutes’ bench in the Premier League this season, Maresca has spoken in glowing terms of Chilwell’s professionalism during a difficult time.

‘Ben has been top. I have to say that, he has been top,’ said Maresca in January. ‘Very professional, works hard.

‘I feel shame because of that situation but in terms of behaviour, he has been very good.’

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that there is an option to buy in the deal, but it is worth more than the £40m release clause in his current contract.

The 21-year-old has been involved more than Chilwell this season, making four appearances in the Europa Conference League, but also hasn’t turned out in the Premier League.

He too will have a medical on Monday and is due to complete a move before the transfer deadline.

Mohbad’s wife(wunmi) called in to a TikTok live show earlier today and SHE SAID:

Image
  **"I’m tired of keeping quiet. I’ve been quiet for so long, and people have turned that silence into guilt. I see all the things said about me and my son online — strangers, bloggers, even people who once claimed to love Moh, now turning around and calling my innocent son a b@stard. It breaks my heart. I carried that boy for nine months. I gave birth to him, and every day I look into his eyes, I see his father. Liam is Mohbad’s child. But instead of people supporting me and the little boy Moh left behind, they insult him. They rain curses on an innocent child. Why? What did he do? Because he’s too small to speak for himself? What hurts me even more is that the same people calling for a DNA test don’t know that it’s Baba — yes, Mohbad’s father — who is delaying the DNA. I’ve never refused a DNA test. I’m not scared of it. Let them do it. But how do you do a DNA test when the person who should give consent or push for it is the one dragging his feet? Why won’t Baba complete the p...

  “The moment I stopped being Pogba the rich and famous player, everyone disappeared. Even my wife left me. That pain is something I still carry.” He went on to say: “People who once chased me for events and appearances suddenly said, ‘Pogba is of no use now.’ It broke me... but it also opened my eyes. Now I know who my real friends are — or rather, how few they truly are.” 🧠 Lesson: Success reveals who admires you...

This is why we should not let this case go down,and I don’t think it is fair for anyone to withhold information especially his main friends that knew what he went through,if you guys still feel the likes of zlatan and Bella shurmda should not contribute in pointing out all the so called people that made mohbad life a living hell then you are all not ready to make this boy rest in peace,they should talk

Image
  We must not let Mohbad’s case be forgotten, ignored, or swept under the rug. This is bigger than just a trending topic or another viral headline. This is about a young life that was lost under deeply troubling circumstances, and until the truth comes out, there can be no real peace—for his family, for his fans, or for his soul. It is painful and unfair that even now, after everything that has happened, some of the people closest to him remain silent. Those who were his friends—his so-called brothers in the industry—those who shared stages with him, knew his struggles, and witnessed his pain firsthand, owe it to him and to the world to speak up. People like Zlatan and Bella Shmurda , who were once seen around him, who knew the kind of emotional, psychological, and even physical battles Mohbad was facing, cannot afford to stay silent any longer. This is not about chasing clout. This is not about entertainment gossip. This is about justice . If we continue to act like it's not...
