Manchester City eye £50m transfer for Leicester City full back Ben Chilwell

Leicester City left back Ben Chilwell is reportedly wanted by Manchester City as they look to bolster their defensive options come January.

According to the Mirror, the Premier League champions are plotting a £50million move for the 21-year-old in the upcoming transfer window.

City are targeting this position with first-choice left back Benjamin Mendy enduring an injury-prone 18 months since moving from Monaco in a £52m deal last summer.

The move for Chilwell may come as a surprise considering he only signed a new long-term deal with Leicester until 2024 back in October.
