England international Ben Chilwell has completed a permanent transfer to Ligue 1 side Strasbourg, signing a two-year deal after departing Chelsea.
Ben Chilwell has officially joined Strasbourg on a two-year contract, bringing an end to his five-year tenure with Chelsea. The 28-year-old England international full-back will play a key role in strengthening Strasbourg’s squad, leveraging his wealth of Premier League and European experience.
During his time at Chelsea, Chilwell established himself as a dependable left-back, contributing both defensively and offensively. His most notable achievement came in 2021 when he played a crucial role in Chelsea’s Champions League-winning campaign under Thomas Tuchel. However, persistent injuries and increased competition have limited his involvement in the team over the past two years.
Chilwell’s move to Strasbourg is part of the club’s strategy to bolster its squad with experienced international talent.
As a BlueCo-owned club, Strasbourg has been actively signing players from Chelsea, and Chilwell is the latest addition. He will join a young and developing side under English head coach Liam Rosenior, who aims to integrate Chilwell’s leadership and top-level experience into the team.
At Strasbourg, Chilwell will be reunited with familiar faces from Chelsea’s academy and senior ranks. The club’s ambitious project and long-term vision were decisive factors in securing his signature. With European football on the horizon, Chilwell’s experience will be invaluable in helping Strasbourg compete domestically and make their mark in Europe.
Chilwell’s departure from Chelsea marks the end of an era for the player, who joined the Blues in 2020 from Leicester City. During his time at Stamford Bridge, he made 64 appearances for the club and won the Champions League. He also had a successful loan spell at Crystal Palace, helping the Eagles win the FA Cup.
