Manchester City are considering a deadline day move for Chelsea fullback Ben Chilwell.

The Sun says City are eyeing Chilwell as they send Joao Cancelo on-loan to Bayern Munich.

City were interested in Chilwell's signature during his Leicester City days but opted against paying his £42million release clause as he instead moved to Stamford Bridge.

Chilwell has not played in the Premier League since picking up a hamstring injury in October.

However, manager Graham Potter is expecting him to be back for the Blues' match against Fulham on February 3.

Chelsea will need to axe some players from their squad following the heavy investment since last summer.

And this could lead to a potential sale of Chilwell if the club received an acceptable offer from City.
