Stuart Pearce believes it will cost a lot of money if Manchester City want to sign Ben Chilwell.

Pep Guardiola is a known admirer of the 21-year-old full back. And left back is a problem position for the Citizens.

But Pearce thinks it will take an offer close to £50million to tempt Leicester to sell.

He said on talkSPORT:"That's probably the going rate for an England international player, and it certainly is if Manchester City pick the phone up, you know you're going to put £10m or £20m on to it anyway.

"I like the kid, I've seen him a couple of times this season and I've been very impressed by him, in an England shirt and a Leicester shirt.

"He's of a great age, he's 22 [on December 21] and you're paying for the fact he could still have another 10 years.

"He's got great energy and can deal with the ball really well.

"I think he would be a good fit for Manchester City and I can see why there would be interest."
