# Chelsea: Fans don’t want Ben Chilwell at Stamford Bridge

**Chelsea fans don’t want Ben Chilwell at the club after the Blues were linked with a move for the Leicester City defender.**

[According to The Athletic](https://theathletic.co.uk/1412623/2019/12/04/chelsea-make-chilwell-their-no-1-target-to-solve-lampards-dilemma-at-left-back/?redirected=1), if the club’s transfer ban is overturned in the next few days, Frank Lampard’s side will make the player their top target.

[Valencia defender Jose Gaya](https://theathletic.co.uk/1412623/2019/12/04/chelsea-make-chilwell-their-no-1-target-to-solve-lampards-dilemma-at-left-back/?redirected=1) is thought to be second choice for the English manager, should they not land the Leicester man.

The west London side have also been linked with a move for Algerian right-back Youcef Atal in the winter window, with reports [(via The Metro)](https://metro.co.uk/2019/09/10/chelsea-lining-35m-january-move-nice-right-back-youcef-atal-transfer-ban-reduced-10719093/) claiming the club are eyeing a £35m move.

It seems Lampard wants to replace Marcos Alonso, who hasn’t featured since the draw against Ajax, and [Emerson Palmieri](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7754857/Chelsea-make-Leicester-star-Ben-Chilwell-January-transfer-target-ban-lifted.html), who isn’t thought to have a long-term future at the club.

However, fans were less than impressed after links with Chilwell as they took to Twitter to react.

Here is a selection of tweets from the west London faithful:

> Jose Gaya over Chilwell and a striker that compliments the way we play.
