Arsenal and Liverpool set for summer battle over Leicester's young England star
ARSENAL and Liverpool will go head-to-head for Leicester's England youngster Ben Chilwell.
Ben Chilwell is on Arsenal and Liverpool's radar
The left-back, 18, is on loan at Huddersfield and was scouted by both clubs this on Saturday.
The Terriers beat Birmingham 2-0 and Chilwell impressed again with Liverpool’s Barry Hunter and Arsenal’s Steve Rowley present.
And, according to the Telegraph, the Gunners and Reds will make moves for the England under-20 defender in the summer.
Arsenal have reportedly already had one bid rejected while Jurgen Klopp has been in touch with David Wagner over his progress.
Klopp and Wagner - who took over from Chris Powell at Huddersfield - worked together at Borussia Dortmund.
Chilwell is an under-20 international
Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri admitted Chilwell had to get out on loan because the junior games weren't developing him enough.
He said: "When I watched the [Leicester] under-21s it was not good enough for him.
"When he stays here is a young boy who comes from the academy, but when he goes to another team he will start to become a player.
"There is a new manager, new fans and a new club and you have to show your personality and character.
"This is important because he starts to open his mind now and learn. Two months I think is good and then we will see what happens."
