# Everton: Fans slam possible transfer exit of Lucas Digne as Ben Chilwell alternative for Chelsea and Manchester City

**Plenty of Everton fans have been slamming the possible transfer exit of Lucas Digne after [ESPN](https://www.espn.co.uk/football/soccer-transfers/story/4126727/chelseaman-city-eye-digne-as-chilwell-alternative-sources) reported that both Chelsea and Manchester City are seeing him as an alternative to Ben Chilwell in the upcoming summer transfer window.**

As per the outlet, Leicester City will hold out for at least £75 million, which may be too much for both Pep Guardiola or Frank Lampard to pay.

However, the Toffees would apparently expect a high figure for Digne too if both clubs came knocking on the door, but they do not expect him to cost as much as Chilwell.

Comparing the two left-backs in the Premier League so far in the 2019/20 season, the Frenchman has made more assists, and also averages more shots, key passes, crosses, tackles and clearances, whilst averaging a higher overall rating per game, according to [Whoscored](https://www.whoscored.com/PlayerComparison).

Digne beats Chilwell in a lot of key areas both offensively and defensively, and so perhaps it is not a surprise that these EFC supporters on Twitter want to keep him at Goodison Park beyond this campaign:

***Evertonians, would you let Digne go for the right price?***
