Leicester City could bring Atalanta left-back Robin Gosens as a replacement for Ben Chilwell this summer, reports Tuttomercatoweb.

However, Chelsea and Inter Milan are also looking at the 25-year old, and given his talent, more clubs could soon be in for him.

While primarily a left-back, he can also operate as a central midfielder.

And this versatility comes with an impressive output, reflected best by his eight goals and five assists for Atalanta this season. Even by a no.10’s standards, those numbers would be really good.

So would be his price, mind. Joachim Low is set to call him to the national team, which would undoubtedly see his stock soar.

He is not the only one linked with Leicester, with Olympiacos’ Kostas Tsimikas also touted as a replacement for Chilwell.

The Greek international has a plethora of clubs after him from a number of European leagues, and at £22 million, he would be more than affordable for most of them – Leicester included.

According to Greek outlet Sportime, his preference is the Premier League and the Foxes might just be on top of his list.

But before all that, it is Chilwell’s future that needs to be sorted out. He has had a horrid season, and in addition, Chelsea and Manchester City’s never-dying interest has led to increased speculation.

Obviously, his calibre is under no doubt. He is among England’s finest and we can be sure that Brendan Rodgers is aware of it as much as we all are.

What does he want for his future, though, is what needs to be known – and soon.
