Arsenal have had a bid rejected by Leicester City for young full-back Ben Chilwell, according to John Percy of the Telegraph, but that’s not enough to put them off the 18-year-old.
The Gunners’ Chief Scout Steve Rowley was in attendance at St. Andrew’s at the weekend to watch the youngster, who is on loan at Huddersfield Town.
The England under-20 international left back has joined the Championship side on loan until January, and is quickly becoming one of the most talked about young players in the country.
Liverpool have also been linked with a move for the 18-year-old, and have already had a bid for him rejected by Leicester.
David Wagner, who worked closely with Jurgen Klopp at Borussia Dortmund, is now in charge of Huddersfield and is said to have alerted his friend and former colleague to Chilwell.
Leicester are keen to keep hold of the youngster and expect him to return from loan in January ready to fight for a place in Claudio Ranieri’s first team.
