The England international was an undisputed starter from the left-back role two years ago, but that is no longer the case.

He has picked up multiple injuries over the past 18 months and this has coincided with his reduced playing time.

It is now reported that manager Enzo Maresca has given the green light for Chilwell's exit before the transfer deadline.

Marc Cucurella is expected to be the first-choice left-back next season with new signing Renato Veiga acting as deputy.

Chilwell does not fit into the playing style of the Italian and the hierarchy are now open to transfer offers for him.

There are no formal transfer bids on the table at the moment, but things could change over the forthcoming weeks.

Manchester United are one of the clubs monitoring Chilwell, but they are likely to propose a loan with a buy option.
