Leicester ace set to shun Liverpool interest: Player to sign new contract
BEN CHILWELL will reportedly end speculation over his future by signing a new contract with Leicester.
Ben Chilwell is set to sign a new deal with Leicester
The 19-year-old, who is viewed as one of the best young defenders in the country, is entering the final year of his contract.
Liverpool made the teenager one of their top targets this summer as they search for a new left-back to replace Alberto Moreno.
However according to ESPN, the England under-20 international will now stay at Leicester as he is set to sign a new deal with the club.
The news will be a blow to Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, who will now have to look at alternative options.
Chilwell played just two FA Cup matches in January for Leicester last season, while he also enjoyed a loan spell at Huddersfield.
But he looks set have a larger role in Claudio Ranieri's first-team next season as the Foxes prepare for the Champions League.
