Leicester City full-back Ben Chilwell finds himself a man in demand.
The 22-year old left back has already been linked with a summer move to Manchester City, but now comes news that both Atlético Madrid and Barcelona are monitoring his situation as well.
Both sides were impressed with his performance in England’s 3 – 2 away win to Spain in Valencia last November, and have been tracking his progress ever since.
Now it looks like there could a bidding war on the horizon for the left-back who only broke into the senior England side last November, but is starting to look like a fixture there with six caps already to his name.
New Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers will not want to let Chilwell leave in the summer. However, with a potential fee of £50 million due for his services, Rodgers will know that money from his sale could be used to strengthen the team in other areas.
