LIVERPOOL want to sign teenage Leicester left-back Ben Chilwell.
Ben Chilwell is on Jurgen Klopp's wish list for defenders
The 19-year-old, who is currently on loan at Huddersfield Town, is highly thought of at the King Power stadium.
But the Telegraph claim Jurgen Klopp is ready to test the Foxes' resolve with a £4million bid.
Arsenal reportedly had a £3.5m offer for the defender rejected in the summer.
Huddersfield manager David Wagner worked with Klopp as reserve-team manager at Borussia Dortmund and the pair are said to be close.
