Chelsea are the best fit of all the clubs he's been linked with and I'm happy with £45M with add ons. On the basis that we sell a starter each year to fund recruitment, most Leicester fans are massively relieved it's Chilwell rather than Maddison, Ndidi, Suyuncu or Ricardo this year.
I think Chelsea will be disappointed at how one-footed he is and at his poor end product. He also got ripped apart by top teams last year - Mahrez in particular gave him a torrid time - and fans were calling for him to be dropped. He might thrive under Frank, though, as there's certainly something about him, he works hard and has a proverbial "engine" on him. He's also surprisingly good in the air.
We've been linked with some good (and much cheaper) replacements, which will give Luke Thomas a year or two to develop. He signed a long-term contract yesterday and is a fantastic prospect.
Haha, no. I think he'll be a good fit at Chelsea because Frank has a knack of getting the most out of young English players and the club looked like it was investing in youth and prepared to be patient... until the transfer ban was lifted, it seems.
