Jack Grealish congratulates Ben Chilwell on Chelsea deal

Ben Chilwell completed his transfer to Chelsea with Jack Grealish congratulating his fellow U21 England international.

Chelsea have officially announced that Ben Chilwell will be a Blue next season. The left-back will reinforce Frank Lampard’s ailing defence that conceded the most goals in the top half of the Premier League table.

Jack Grealish has come out on Instagram and congratulated his England U21 teammate.

“Congratulations brother ❤️❤️❤️,” Grealish posted on Instagram.

Absolutely buzzing to sign for @ChelseaFC. Really exciting time for the club, with such a good squad! Can’t wait to meet all of the lads and everyone around the building. Special thank you to the manager for the faith he has shown in me. A dream come true. Come on you blues 💙 pic.twitter.com/xpfIklsgzn

Chilwell’s addition has been welcomed by ex-Chelsea defender, Craig Burley. The retired football turned analyst was full of praise for the England international and believes he is a terrific addition at Stamford Bridge.

Burley also took out time to explain Chilwell’s poor end to the season. He claimed that injuries took a toll on him which resulted in his poor performances in the second half of the season.

“He [Chilwell] didn’t have a good second half of the season after injuries, the first half was pretty good,” Metro quoted Burley.

“The real Ben Chilwell is a potential top drawer left-back, he is everything that you need, the pace, the great left foot and the engine that you need to get up and down.”

Chelsea are not done with reinforcing their backline. Thiago Silva is linked with a move to Stamford Bridge. It is speculated that the Blues have offered him a two-year deal at the club.
