Towards the second half of the last season, defence was a big concern for West Ham who finished ninth in the league table despite starting the season well. Thus, West Ham have signed Jean-Clair Todibo and Aaron Wan-Bissaka to significantly improve their defence. However, the transfer activity isn’t done yet and the Hammers are looking to offload a few players to make a few more quality additions to their squad.

One key area that West Ham is focusing on is strengthening the left back position. Currently, Julen Lopetegui's side have Emerson and Aaron Cresswell as the left backs, with Cresswell being 34-years-old. Emerson, who is 30 years old, is the only reliable option in the squad. If Emerson gets injured, West Ham will struggle both in defending and in creating goalscoring opportunities.

Therefore, West Ham should seriously consider signing Chelsea’s Ben Chilwell. The 27-year-old is an incredibly versatile left-back known for his ability to contribute both defensively and offensively. His solid defending and brilliant passing has made him one of the best left-backs in the Premier League. However, recently, Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca revealed that the club is open to selling Chilwell, which presents a perfect opportunity for West Ham to secure Chilwell's signature in this transfer window.

Adding Chilwell to their squad would not only provide West Ham with a top-quality left-back but also add depth and stability to their defence. His arrival could greatly enhance their ability to both defend against world class Premier League forwards and create several chances for their star forwards.

Chilwell's signing will provide more competition to Emerson which will help the club maintain a competitive edge as they look to build on their impressive transfer window this summer. Currently, West Ham are preparing to face Crystal Palace who have been one of the most improved Premier League teams since last season, in an away fixture in the second league match.
