London's "Chelsea" team is looking for a replacement for Ben Chilwell, who needed a crossroads surgery on his right knee. Journalist Fabrizio Romano reports that "Chelsea" is considering three left-backs - Everton's player Lucas Digne, Barcelona's defender Sergino Dest, and Ajax's Nicolas Tagliafico who has fallen out of the starting lineup. L. Digne also does not find a place in Everton's team, as the Frenchman has recently had a conflict with head coach Rafa Benitez. "Chelsea" values S. Dest's talent, but negotiations have not advanced yet, and the aristocrats were interested in Nicolas Tagliafico last summer and his possible transfer was discussed a few weeks ago, adds F. Romano. There is also a Plan B - terminating the loans of Emerson Palmieri (Lyon) or young talent Ian Maatsen (Coventry City) and returning them to the main "Chelsea" team.
