**Ben Chilwell Set for Crystal Palace Loan as Chelsea Offloads Fringe Players Before Deadline Day**
Crystal Palace have reached an agreement with Chelsea to secure the loan signing of **Ben Chilwell** for the remainder of the season. The 28-year-old left-back is scheduled to undergo his medical on **Transfer Deadline Day**, with the window closing at **11 PM on Monday**.
Chilwell has struggled for game time this season, making just a single appearance across all competitions. His only outing came as a substitute during Chelsea’s **Carabao Cup win over Barrow** back in September. With opportunities limited under current management, the England international is seeking a fresh start at Selhurst Park to regain form and fitness.
Fans can catch Chelsea in action against West Ham on **Monday night**, live on **Sky Sports Main Event** and **Premier League** from **6:30 PM**, with kick-off scheduled for **8 PM**.
### **João Félix’s Future in Limbo Amid Aston Villa Links**
Meanwhile, **João Félix**’s future remains uncertain as **Aston Villa’s** pursuit of the Portuguese forward appears unlikely to materialize this window. It’s reported that Félix will either stay at Stamford Bridge or secure a move abroad.
Félix returned to Chelsea from Atlético Madrid last summer but has struggled to find consistent form, making only **three Premier League starts** in 12 appearances. Despite limited game time, he’s managed to score against Wolves on the opening day, net twice in the FA Cup, and add four goals in the Europa Conference League.
### **Chukwuemeka Set for Borussia Dortmund Loan**
In another move, **Borussia Dortmund** have agreed to take **Carney Chukwuemeka** on loan from Chelsea. The 21-year-old midfielder has been frozen out of the first team since **Enzo Maresca** took over managerial duties.
Chukwuemeka joined Chelsea from **Aston Villa** in the summer of 2022 in a deal worth around **£20 million**, but has struggled to secure a regular role. The loan move to Dortmund offers him a chance to revive his career with more consistent playing time in the Bundesliga.
As the transfer deadline approaches, Chelsea seems focused on offloading surplus talent while evaluating potential last-minute signings to strengthen their squad.
