Leicester boss Rodgers: Chilwell has 'scary' potential

Brendan Rodgers says Leicester City left-back Ben Chilwell has 'scary' potential.

The England international, 22, has been scouted by Manchester City and Manchester United in recent times.

As one of the first names on his team-sheet, Foxes boss Rodgers has been wowed by Chilwell's room for growth.

"The beauty with Ben is the more I work with him, the more I realise how much he is going to improve," said Rodgers.

"It is scary really. He has only really broken through in the last couple of years and yet when I talk to him he is learning and wanting to learn all the time, so he has still got levels to come up.

"It's frightening because he is up there with the best at this level. He is young and he is only going to get better. Like James [Maddison], they are hungry to improve and that is important."
