Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on Leicester City defender Ben Chilwell.
The transfer window may have only closed just weeks ago, but that hasn’t stopped speculation in the lead-up to the January trolley dash.
Tottenham Hotspur are already being linked with a host of potential transfer targets, which is no great surprise as they were the only Premier League team not to make a signing this past summer.
Ajax midfielder Frenkie de Jong is a main name linked already, but The Telegraph added on Monday that Spurs are also keen to bring in Leicester City defender Ben Chilwell.
It’s claimed that Spurs want to land Chilwell as their new left back, but may wait until the summer, when Chilwell has just two years left to run on his Leicester deal.
The 21-year-old has come up through the Leicester ranks, and has now cemented himself as the first-choice left back under Claude Puel.
His impressive displays in the early stages of this season have not only sparked interest from Spurs, but also seen him called up to the England squad for the first time for tonight’s game against Switzerland.
Spurs could certainly do worse than Chilwell for a new left back, though Leicester will stand firm, and some Tottenham fans on Twitter suggested that he would be a great signing – but doubt that they would pay up to sign him.
Some believe Pochettino would be great for Chilwell’s development whilst branding him ‘quality’, with one fan suggesting a swap deal involving fellow left back Ben Davies – and one not quite so keen on the idea of signing Chilwell full stop.
