Manchester City Register an Interest in Signing Leicester City Left-Back Ben Chilwell

Manchester City are looking to bring in some competition for Benjamin Mendy and have identified Leicester City's Ben Chilwell as a top transfer target.

Mendy is the undisputed first choice left-back at City, but injuries have disrupted his short career with the Citizens, only making 20 first-team appearances during his 18-month stay at the Etihad. He recently returned to action with a substitute appearance against Burton Albion in the Carabao Cup, after recovering from a knee operation.

According to ESPN, Pep Guardiola is aware that City are lacking when it comes to competition for Mendy, and he is keen to bring in a new left-back in the summer transfer window - with Chilwell being one of the top targets.
