Liverpool are thought to be in negotiations to sign Ben Chilwell from Premier League champions Leicester City.
According to the Telegraph, those negotiations are set to advance in the coming days as Jurgen Klopp looks to get his summer transfer business completed as early as possible.
The report claims as much as £7million could be spent by the Reds to bring Chilwell in from the King Power stadium with doubts over Alberto Moreno’s future at Liverpool.
Leicester were hoping that the price tag would hinder Liverpool’s interest in the deal with Claudio Ranieri thought to be a big fan of the defender. However, it is believed that Klopp is ready to meet the Foxes’ asking price for the 19-year-old.
Chilwell, who captains England’s U20 side has been linked with a move away from Leicester throughout the season, after he attracted interest from the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea.
He spent time on loan at Championship side, Huddersfield Town earlier in the season, where Klopp’s close friend David Wanger manages, so the German is likely to know a lot about the player.
