Ben Chilwell looks set for Leicester City exit (Picture: Getty)

Liverpool look to be closing in on the transfer of Leicester City left-back Ben Chilwell, who has rejected a new contract at the King Power Stadium.

The 18-year-old is considered one of English football’s best up-and-coming talents, despite not yet playing in the Premier League for the Foxes.

Arsenal are also tracking the young defender, though it seems that Liverpool could be about to step up their interest as they look for a replacement for Alberto Moreno.

The Spaniard had a shocker as the Reds lost this week’s Europa League final to Sevilla, and Chilwell could be an ideal replacement in that part of the pitch.




According to the Daily Mirror, Liverpool can sign the England Under-21 international for around £3million after he looks to have signalled his desire to leave Leicester.

The Premier League champions offered Chilwell a contract worth around £18,000 per week, which he has turned down.
