Chelsea willing to go to £60M for Leicester fullback Ben Chilwell

Chelsea are moving for Leicester City fullback Ben Chilwell.

The Daily Mail says Chelsea are reportedly willing to submit a bid in the region of £60m for Chilwell.

Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers is prepared to buy a replacement, with Manchester United's Luke Shaw under consideration.

Speaking in late December 2019, Rodgers said during his final pre-match press conference of the year: "There will be no-one leaving in January. Categorically.

"No [I've not spoken with the board] but I'm sure if we speak that will be the case as well.

"It's pretty clear we want to keep this squad together, a very exciting team with a lot of growth and development in it, so we want to ensure they stay around beyond January."
