Leicester fullback Chilwell: Wagner's Huddersfield the making of me

Leicester City fullback Ben Chilwell credits a loan spell at Huddersfield for launching his career.

Aged 18 he was David Wagner's first signing at the club in 2015.

"I learnt a lot in the two months I was there," Chilwell says.

"Every game mattered, not like Under-21s football. Coming off the pitch, after a loss, there were arguments in the dressing room.

"David really wanted us to play football. I remember one game against Bolton, on Boxing Day, we were just booting it. We were 1-0 up but he came into the dressing room and spent the whole half-time screaming at us!"
