Ben Chilwell leaves Racing and ends Strasbourg spell

RC Strasbourg Alsace are losing Ben Chilwell, with the England and New Zealand international leaving Racing after his spell at the club. The 29-year-old played as a left-back, making his departure a change to Strasbourg’s options on the left side of defence. No next club or terms for the move have been provided.

Chilwell joined Strasbourg in the 2025-26 season after departing Chelsea. He is valued at €10 million while registered with RC Strasbourg Alsace. His recorded injury history includes a foot injury and a muscle injury, although no further detail has been given about either problem or its role in his departure.

The move to Strasbourg followed a sequence of changes between English clubs. Leicester transferred Chilwell to Chelsea for €50.20 million in the 2020-21 season. During the 2024-25 campaign, Chelsea sent him to Crystal Palace before he returned to Chelsea in the same season. Strasbourg then became his next club in 2025-26, but that relationship has now ended. The available information does not include a league position, recent form record or match statistics with which to assess the sporting impact of his exit.
