Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Leicester City left-back Ben Chilwell in the summer transfer window, that is according to a report from The Times.
It is suggested that Spurs, along with Chelsea and Manchester City, are keen on taking the 23-year-old from the Foxes in the off-season and that Leicester have already identified Burnley’s Charlie Taylor as a replacement.
Chilwell has been a key player for Brendan Rodgers’ side this season, starting 23 Premier League games and chipping in with a couple of goals whilst also providing three assists (Transfermarkt). A new left-back is likely to be high on Jose Mourinho’s wish-list this summer, particularly if Danny Rose, who recently joined Newcastle United on loan, leaves the club on a permanent basis.
However, it seems that many Spurs fans do not think that Chilwell would be a good addition, with one fan even describing him as “another version of Aurier” – a player many Tottenham fans have slammed for performances this season.

No I’d rather give sessegnon time to play instead of overpaying for this guy

Poor man’s Ben Davies! Chilwell not playing well and his lack of pace is something Spurs could do without. Plenty of alternatives more suited to the formation Spurs play – Alex Grimaldo, Alex Sandro, Digne, Jonas Hector and Halstenberg
