According to The Sun, Chelsea and Manchester City are interested in signing Ben Chilwell from Premier League rivals Leicester City.

It has been reported by the British tabloid that Premier League champions City are leading the chase for the 22-year-old left-back.

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard is also claimed to want the £50 million-rated defender when the Blues’ transfer ban ends.

According to The Sun, Leicester are looking at Bolton Wanderers midfielder Ronan Darcy, with the Foxes also scouting for potential replacements for Chilwell.

The report has also claimed that Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers wants to keep the England international at the King Power Stadium until next summer.

Rising star

Chilwell is one of the best young left-backs in the Premier League, and there is no surprise that Chelsea and City are reportedly interested in the 22-year-old.

The youngster will improve and develop in the coming years, and Leicester should demand top dollar for the Englishman.

It is hard to see the Foxes sell the defender in the January transfer window, but money talks.
