Newcastle have seen their odds slashed from 10/1 into 6/4 favourites to sign Ben Chilwell
Chelsea defender Ben Chilwell is now as short as 6/4 to join Newcastle United this summer after reports have linked him with a move from Stamford Bridge in the final week of the transfer window.
Blues boss Enzo Maresca stated that Chilwell was one of several players who was free to leave the club before the window slams shut on August 30 and betting sites give odds on where he may go.
Chilwell’s odds have been slashed from 10/1 into just 6/4 to join Newcastle with Caught Offside saying that the Magpies could approach Chelsea for the signing in the coming days.
It looks unlikely that Newcastle even need him with Lewis Hall, Lloyd Kelly and Dan Burn all available at left-back but Bet365‘s odds have them at the top of the betting market.
| Ben Chilwell Next Club | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Newcastle | 6/4 | 40.0% |
| Man United | 3/1 | 25.0% |
| Stay at Chelsea | 7/2 | 22.2% |
| West Ham | 8/1 | 11.1% |
| Brentford | 12/1 | 7.7% |
What the expert says…
Newcastle are the betting favourites to sign Ben Chilwell this summer despite their strength-in-depth in the left back position. Manchester United’s struggles at left back could well see them shorten into favourites in the remaining days of the window!
