If Chelsea are to land Leicester City left back Ben Chilwell in January, or any other time to be fair, then they have a hard task on their hands.
The Evening Standard are reporting that Leiecester are determined to reject any January offers for Chilwell, and value the England international at at least £60 million.
They also claim that both Manchester United and Manchester City are keeping tabs on the 22-year old, who will not agitate a move, according to the same publication.
It might be a slightly different story if the pursuit happens in the summer, but even still, Leicester are currently trying to negotiate offering him an improved contract, so clearly have no intentions to let him leave the club.
Chelsea fans have been reacting on Twitter, and some of them are advising the club to try alternative options instead, such as 24-year old former Barcelona full back, Alex Grimaldo.
That's too much. Grimaldo for me!
