Man United to rival Chelsea for Ben Chilwell?

Manchester United and Chelsea could reportedly slug it out over the summer to secure the signature of Leicester City full-back Ben Chilwell.

The 23-year-old defender has been identified as one of the Blues’ top summer targets as they look to bolster their defensive options ahead of next season.

The West London outfit have been dealt a major blow in their pursuit of Chilwell with the Red Devils reportedly keen to bring him to Old Trafford.

Chelsea’s pursuit with Chilwell have slowed down as a result, and The Mirror claims that Man United to poach his signature from under Frank Lampard’s nose.

The Foxes thought to value the Englishman as highly as Harry Maguire when he joined Manchester United in a world-record deal last year.

Chilwell has a contract at the King Power Stadium until 2024, but he is thought to be hopeful of a move away from the East Midlands this summer.
