Chelsea 'join Schalke and Leipzig in race for Monaco left-back Bode Fallo-Toure' as Frank Lampard eyes cheaper alternative to £60m Ben Chilwell

Chelsea have reportedly joined the race for Monaco left-back Bode Fallo-Toure as they look for a cheaper alternative to Leicester City's Ben Chilwell.

Frank Lampard has highlighted a left-back as a priority signing this summer and has been a long term admirer of Chilwell, but has concerns over his price tag.

The coronavirus pandemic has forced clubs to re-evaluate their transfer plans and Chilwell's reported £60million valuation could be beyond Chelsea's budget.
