Ben Chilwell is Chelsea's top left-back target
According to a report by The Metro, Chelsea remain keen on signing Leicester City ace Ben Chilwell despite the club’s £80m asking price.
The report claims that Frank Lampard is on the hunt for a new left-back. Marcos Alonso hasn’t been convincing enough while Cesar Azpilicueta’s preferred position is not at left-back.
That leaves Emerson Palmieri, who has been a peripheral figure at Stamford Bridge for the longest time now.
Even during the January window, Chelsea were interested in his services but no deal materialized. As a result, depending on when the season resumes and when the summer transfer window commences, the Blues are ready to sign him – even though the Foxes are demanding £80m.
The 23-year-old, who currently earns wages in the region of £65,000-a-week, has been a top talent in the Premier League. If Chelsea succeed in signing him, The Metro suggests that he would be receiving a higher salary as well.
Considering the fact that Chilwell has four years left on his current deal with the club, it goes without saying that Leicester will play hardball.
Chilwell is a vastly talented player and having him in our squad would be a splendid move indeed.
