Liverpool target Chigwell pens new Leicester contract

Ben Chilwell has signed a new deal with Leicester City.

The 19-year-old left-back was heavily linked with a possible move to Liverpool but has now committed to the Foxes cause by putting pen to a five-year contract.

The England U21 international is now tied to the reigning Premier League champions until the summer of 2021 and was over the moon to have finalised his stay at King Power Stadium.

He posted on Twitter: “Delighted to sign a new long term contract with LCFC. Hard work don't stop, time to push on now! Thanks for all the nice messages."
