Chelsea target Ben Chilwell is reportedly in line for a new deal at Leicester City, who seem desperate to try keep their prized asset.
According to the Daily Star, Premier League giants Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham are all keen on the England international.
It is understood that Leicester are set to react by offering the defender a fresh £25million deal, despite still having five years left on his existing contract.
The report explains that he could be in line for a £100,000-a-week deal at the King Power Stadium and that would mean it takes a significant transfer fee to sign him.
Chilwell has come through the academy ranks at Leicester to become a brilliant successor to title-winner Christian Fuchs at left-back and is now developing under manger Brendan Rodgers.
The 22-year-old has established himself as an important player under Gareth Southgate in the England squad and has started five of the last nine international fixtures.
He has tremendous stamina that constantly sees him fly forward into attack with pace and precision, while the defensive area of his game is still improving.
Chelsea currently have Emerson Palmieri and Marcos Alonso as their left-back options at Stamford Bridge, who are both decent players on their day.
But Frank Lampard’s side would be making a significant addition with Chilwell, as he’s got so much potential to get better and is still just a young rising talent.
Chelsea would have to pay a fortune for the speed machine if he pens a new Leicester deal, but England internationals are always likely to cost the big money and it depends on how highly Lampard rates him.
