Tottenham Monitoring Young Leicester Defender After First International Call-Up

Tottenham are keeping tabs on Leicester left back Ben Chilwell, who received his first call-up to the England senior team this week.

Chilwell and teammate Demarai Gray were called into Gareth Southgate's squad for Tuesday's friendly against Switzerland, which will take place in the familiar surroundings of Leicester's home ground.

After his breakthrough season in 2016/17, Chilwell became a regular for Leicester during the last campaign and has clearly earned the trust of Foxes manager Claude Puel, who has started him in all four Premier League matches so far this season.

Chilwell has played for England throughout the youth levels, and was the subject of bids from Arsenal and Liverpool before he had even played for Leicester, but these were rejected.
