Arsenal are set to step up their interest in Leicester City left back Ben Chilwell this summer, as they look to make a number of reinforcements.
According to the Mirror Online, Arsene Wenger has identified a number of long-term prospects that he wants to see brought to north London, with Fulham’s 15-year-old Ryan Sessegnon also a target.
The Leicester defender has been heavily linked with a move to Arsenal in the last four months and it’s believed that the Gunners wanted Chilwell during the January transfer window but failed to persuade the Foxes to sell him.
The 19-year-old has been offered a new long-term deal by Claudio Ranieri but with Kieran Gibbs believed to be keen on leaving the Emirates this summer, Wenger will look to step up his interest in Chilwell in order to seal a long-term back up to Nacho Monreal.
Chilwell has played a bit-part role for Leicester this season as they look to win the Premier League title for the first time in their history, with Christian Fuchs a key member on the left side of the defence.
