Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on Leicester City defender Ben Chilwell.
According to The Telegraph, Tottenham Hotspur want to land Leicester City left back Ben Chilwell – but are planning to wait until next summer.
Chilwell, 21, has come up through the ranks with the Foxes, and has cemented himself as the club's first-choice left back under Claude Puel over the last year.
The defender, who spent time out on loan with Huddersfield Town during the 2015-16 season, has impressed so far this season, and he has enjoyed a real rise in the last few days.
With England's Luke Shaw injured against Spain on Saturday night, Chilwell has now been called up as a replacement, and could make his first appearance for the Three Lions against Switzerland on Tuesday.
Now, The Telegraph report that Tottenham are keen to snap up Chilwell as they consider their options at left back, but the message is eerily similar to what Spurs fans have been served up of late.
It's stated that Tottenham would most likely wait until the end of the season to make a bid, as Chilwell would be into the final two years of his Foxes contract.
That isn't exactly what Spurs want to hear after failing to make any new signings over the summer, with supporters hoping for a more direct approach from Daniel Levy.
With questions over Danny Rose's future, Chilwell isn't the first and won't be the last left back linked with Spurs, and the potential new England cap could be the latest option for Tottenham in 2019.
