Manchester City will take Ben Chilwell who is targeted by Chelsea

DBasia.news – Chelsea often seizes the chance of its rivals in recruiting newer players. More recently, the Blues have overtaken Manchester United and Liverpool in the hunt for RB Leipzig striker, Timo Werner.
The 24-year-old German striker is rumored to have approached Chelsea, who agreed to a 55 million euro purchase clause. Timo Werner will be contracted for five years and will be paid 180,000 pounds per week.
But there has been no realization of the news although it has been reported by Italian football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano. Amid the excitement of the news there was another news coming from the UK ahead of the summer transfer market.
Chelsea were after another hunter who played at Leicester City, Ben Chilwell. The 23-year-old left back is favored by Frank Lampard and the player is reportedly ready to play at Chelsea to compete with Marcos Alonso and Emerson.
However, Leicester did not want to let go of less than 60 million pounds. The price is a limiting transfer of the English player. Leicester’s insistence on selling their best players can be seen from the example of the Harry Maguire’s case.
Manchester United made Maguire the world’s most expensive defender of 80 million pounds when recruiting him from Leicester in the summer of 2019. That case could occur to Chilwell.
Chelsea must move quickly if they want to recruit Ben Chilwell. The reason, according to a report by The Telegraph, Manchester City is ready to overtake Chelsea in the hunt for the player born in Milton Keynes, December 21, 1996.
Pep Guardiola is interested in Chilwell to fill the left-back post even though he already had Benjamin Mendy and Oleksandr Zinchenko. Chilwell has the playing criteria he wants to compensate for Kyle Walker on the right side of the defense.
Man City and Chelsea’s intention to hunt down Ben Chilwell will be an exciting course in the summer transfer market. Chilwell’s transfer will be a drama amid the corona virus pandemic.
