Chelsea reportedly identify Ben Chilwell as a priority transfer target heading into the summer window.

Leicester City's Ben Chilwell is reportedly a priority target for Chelsea heading into the summer transfer window.

The Blues have already been active in the market, with RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner understood to have agreed a five-year deal at Stamford Bridge.

Manager Frank Lampard is supposedly hoping to add a new left-back to the ranks in South-West London, and Chilwell has been heavily linked with a move to the English capital recently.

According to Sky Sports News, the Blues are willing to go all out to secure the services of the 23-year-old in time for next season, and Chelsea would be open to parting ways with current left-backs Emerson Palmieri and Marcos Alonso in order to raise funds.

However, with Chilwell's contract at Leicester set to run until 2024, the Foxes will likely demand a hefty fee for the England international.

Chilwell has registered two goals and three assists from 23 Premier League appearances this term as Leicester lie third in the table prior to the league's resumption.
