Chelsea remain interested in Leicester City fullback Ben Chilwell.

Chelsea will make Chilwell their top target in January should their transfer ban be lifted in time.

Chelsea have been linked with a move for Chilwell since earlier this season with Frank Lampard a keen admirer.

Lampard said on Tuesday that he will know within 'days' whether he can sign players in the new year as the Blues wait to hear if their appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has been successful.

The Evening Standard says left-back Chilwell could be heading to Stamford Bridge this winter.

Chilwell, 21, has established himself as one of the top defenders around after playing in all 38 of Leicester's league matches last season.
