Ajax Defender Tagliafico Getting Closer to Leicester, Replacing Ben Chilwell

DBasia.news – Leicester City are targeting Ajax Amsterdam left-back, Nicolas Tagliafico, to be projected to replace Ben Chilwell.

Mail Online reported that the 27-year-old is in demand by many clubs, but prefers to join a team that competes in the Champions League. However, he acknowledged Leicester’s status as a Premier League competitor.

Tagliafico has played 25 times for Argentina and arrived at Ajax in 2018 from Independiente. He then became one of the most coveted left-backs in Europe when his contract with Ajax ends in 2022. Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have also been linked with the player.

Apart from looking for a left-back, Leicester are also looking for a new center-back with Schalke player Ozan Kabak on their shopping list during the summer transfer market.

The 20-year-old Turkish international player has the potential to team up with his compatriot Caglar Soyuncu at the heart of the Foxes’ defense. Leicester defender Jonny Evans is expected to leave this summer.
