Ben Chilwell is one of the first names on the Leicester team sheet

His form since breaking through at the King Power Stadium has also earned him five England caps and The Telegraph report Chilwell is being eyed by City boss Pep Guardiola, who has been frustrated by first-choice left-back Benjamin Mendys injury problems.The Frenchman has made just 16 Premier League appearances since his 52million move from Monaco in 2017.Chilwell is contracted to Leciester until 2024, which means it is likely City will have to pay the Midlands club more than Liverpools 75m fee for Virgil van Dijk.2

Virgil Van Dijk has been a huge success at Liverpool

The Dutchman became the worlds most expensive defender when he joined the Reds from Southampton in January 2018.City could have to bide their time to sign Chilwell, like they did with Riyad Mahrez last summer. The club pursued Mahrez for six months before paying Leicester 60m for his services.The tough stance is set to be no different with Chilwell, who is developing into one of the countrys best full-backs.City have spent big on defenders in the past, though, paying 54m and 52m for full-backs Kyle Walker and Mendy, respectively, in the summer of 2017.
