# Tottenham Hotspur: Fans not keen on signing Ben Chilwell

**Some Tottenham Hotspur fans are not keen on signing Leicester City defender Ben Chilwell after the English international was linked with a move to the north London club in the summer transfer window by the [Daily Star](https://twitter.com/DailyStar_Sport) (via [Ricky Sacks](https://twitter.com/RickSpur/status/1243266748457107458)).**

Sacks relayed information in a Twitter post that stated that Spurs were the front-runners for Chilwell’s signature and added that Ben Davies, Japhet Tanganga and Jan Vertonghen have not convinced at left-back under Jose Mourinho this season.

Comparing Chilwell to the recognised left-back Davies in the Premier League this campaign, the former has scored two goals and provided three assists, whilst the Welshman has yet to to register a goal contribution, according to [Whoscored](https://www.whoscored.com/PlayerComparison). The Englishman has also averaged more interceptions, dribbles, shots and key passes per game, as well as having a average pass success percentage.

Added to that, Chilwell produces more crosses and long balls, and has a higher overall average rating, highlighting his dominance when it comes to this season’s stats.

However, these supporters are still not keen on the 23-year old who has a Premier League title to his name and 11 caps for the senior English national side, as per [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.com/ben-chilwell/profil/spieler/316125). They don’t seem to rate the Leicester ace, with one describing him as ‘[overhyped](https://twitter.com/JoeGTHFC/status/1243266943576084480)‘.
