Manchester City are preparing a major bid for Leicester City fullback Ben Chilwell.

The Mirror says City are plotting a stunning move for £50million-rated Leicester defender Chilwell.

Left-back Chilwell signed a new £110,000-per-week deal that runs until 2024 just two months ago, but that hasn't stopped the champions putting the 21 year-old on their January wish list.

Chilwell has enjoyed a brilliant start to the season, confirming his huge potential by establishing himself as the Foxes first-choice left-back and breaking into Gareth Southgate's England side.

Man City hoped Benjamin Mendy would be their answer long term at left-back when they spent £52m to sign him from Monaco ahead of last season. But injury problems have restricted him to just 16 starts, forcing them to consider their options.
