Jurgen Klopp will start rebuilding his Liverpool squad by signing Leicester’s teenage left-back Ben Chilwell.

The 18-year-old has turned down a new £18,000-a-week deal offered by the title-winning Foxes, with Klopp's Reds and Arsenal hot on his heels.

The German believes he has won the race as the Anfield giants look to find a long-term successor for Alberto Moreno, who had a nightmare in the Europa League final loss to Sevilla on Wednesday.
