Liverpool to beat Arsenal for 19-year-old defender

Liverpool are reportedly keen to add Leicester City’s young left-back Ben Chilwell this summer, but the Reds may face a tough competition from Premier League giants Arsenal.

According to Neil Jones of the Liverpool Echo, the Reds are confident of securing the services of the 19-year-old defender. The Reds value him at £5 million, but the newly crowned Premier League champions could be demanding a bigger fee for their highly-rated teenager.

It is anticipated that a deal in the region of £8 million, inclusive of add-ons, would be enough to lure him away from King Power Stadium this summer.
