Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri is convinced by the quality of Ben Chilwell.

The England under-19 left-back has impressed during City's pre-season campaign, after being included in the first-team's training camp in Austria.

"He is a very, very good player and he will be a fantastic player for Leicester City," said Ranieri to the Leicester Mercury.

"It is very important to give a chance to all the youth players because they are the future.

"It is important to have a very good blend of experienced players and young players.

"Of course, when the season starts it is more important to have the experienced players.

"I think it was right to give Lawrence the armband. He is a young player, with good experience."
