Three possible solutions to Liverpool’s left-back conundrum

Ben Chilwell

The Leicester starlet barely featured in the Foxes title winning campaign last season, but is one of the most wanted names on their books this summer. The club’s under 21 captain featured in the first team three times last season, all in cup competitions, and is said to be interested in a move, according to the .

Liverpool also have a slight head start in the race for the young Englishman given Jurgen Klopp’s close friendship with former Dortmund reserves’ manager and now Huddersfield boss David Wagner. Wagner signed Chilwell on loan at the John Smith’s stadium just over two weeks after being appointed and hailed his impressive performances, his first at senior level.

The Reds see Chilwell as a long time replacement for Moreno who would also be able to provide competition now. With a  bid of £7 million already reportedly rejected, it remains to be seen whether or not Liverpool will match the asking price for the youngster, but it could be a worthwhile investment.
