Leicester boss Rodgers determined to keep hold of Chilwell

Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers says he's determined to keep hold of Ben Chilwell.

Chilwell won the first of his six England caps against Switzerland in September and has been tipped to become the Three Lions' first-choice left-back for the next decade.

And Rodgers is convinced his 'Rolls Royce,' of a defender has even more under the hood.

“The beauty with Ben is there is still a lot of improvement in him," said the former Liverpool boss.

“Since he stepped up to the first team he has brought a lot of natural ability, speed, great power and a great temperament.

“There's no doubt he is a very gifted lad but I still feel there are one or two more gears he can go through in his game, which is great, because I don't just want him to be a good player, I want him to be a top player.

“We have spoken about a number of things he can get better at. But he is a really exciting talent."
