Ben Chilwell was the MK Dons reject who nearly chose cricket over football... now the left-back is Chelsea's £50million star and first choice for England. But could he come back to haunt Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp after they failed to land him in 2017?

The feeling of rejection has become more and more alien to Ben Chilwell over the past couple of years.
