Shortly after confirming the departure of Ben Chilwell to Strasbourg on a permanent deal, Chelsea revealed they have also re-signed another left back, Ishé Samuels-Smith, from the French side.
Chilwell was a key feature for Chelsea following his £45 million ($60.9 million) switch from Leicester City in 2020, but he was frozen out by current boss Enzo Maresca upon his arrival last summer. The Blues manager openly confessed Chilwell was unlikely to play under his watch because of his preference for a different style of full back.
