Transfer News: Leicester City star Ben Chilwell could cost Chelsea £60m

Leicester City star Ben Chilwell could cost Chelsea £60m

Chelsea will apparently need to pay £60m to make sure about the services of Ben Chilwell from Leicester City this summer.

Blues manager Frank Lampard is supposed to be in the market for another left-back ahead of next season, and Ben Chilwell has evidently developed as a significant target for the London outfit.

The England international despite everything has four years left to run on his present contract with the Foxes, in any case, implying that the ball is solidly in Leicester’s court with regards to arranging a price.

As indicated by The Guardian, talks between the two parties have started and Leicester are waiting for a fee of £60m for the left-back, but Chelsea are only ready to pay £45m.

The report asserts that Frank Lampard may look to Ajax’s Nicolas Tagliafico as a cut-value option – with the Argentine as far as anyone knows accessible for an extensively lower figure of £22.4m.
