CRYSTAL Palace are set to sign Ben Chilwell on loan from Chelsea.

Chilwell, 28, has played only 45 minutes of senior action this season, in the Blues’ 5-0 win against Barrow in the EFL Cup at Stamford Bridge last September.

The Eagles need cover and competition for Tyrick Mitchell on the left side of their defence.

England international Chilwell joined from Leicester City for £50million in 2021 and reportedly earns around £200,000 per week.

The Mail are reporting that the wage payments will be split 50/50 between Palace and Chelsea.

The outlet also says Palace are in talks with AC Milan for Serbia centre-back Strahinja Pavlovic and there is interest in Juventus’ Tiago Djalo who is on loan at Porto.

Meanwhile, The Athletic reported that Tottenham Hotspur have bid for £70million-rated Marc Guehi. It has been reported that Guehi is unlikely to leave Palace this month.
