The Racing Club in Strasbourg officially announced the arrival of Ben Chiilwell, a 28-year-old left side from Chelsea. This transfer, formalized Monday night, seals the acquisition of an experienced player for the Alsatian club, with a contract extending until 2027. Chiilwell, an English international with 21 selections, arrived after a successful career in Leicester, where he helped win the Premier League in 2016, then in Chelsea, where he won the Champions League in 2021.

After last season on loan at Crystal Palace, where he won the FA Cup, Ben Chiilwell has an impressive Premier League record. It totals 177 appearances, marked by 13 goals and 18 assists. His profile represents a significant experience for the Strasbourg team, making him one of the oldest players on the roster alongside Eduard Sobol.

The arrival of Ben Chiilwell is seen as an important reinforcement for the left sector of the Strasbourg team. His experience in the Premier League and his past successes are likely to bring valuable tactical stability and quality. This recruitment testifies to the club’s ambition to maintain and advance in Ligue 1, integrating players of international calibre.
