£75 million man sent message ahead of possible move to Chelsea

Rio Ferdinand has offered advice to Chelsea target and Leicester City left-back Ben Chilwell ahead of the summer window.

We have been signings players over the past few months as they seek to get the side back challenging once again, and there has been some talk in the media that Chilwell could be the next big named player to arrive at the club.

Chilwell has developed very nicely over the past few seasons and has firmly established himself as one of the very best left-backs in the game, and reports have suggested that we are ready to pay £75 million to try and nail down his services.

But admit all the transfer speculation, ex-Manchester United star Ferdinand has opened up and handed Chilwell some advice, he told BT Sport: ” His footwork needs to improve, his body position when going one-v-one, but his intensity and physicality running forward and his quality when he gets in the opposition half is up there with the best around at the moment.

“Listen, he’s a young lad, he’s got areas of his game to improve, obviously. We can’t expect Ben Chilwell at his age to be the finished article.

“He’s just come onto the scene in the Premier League, a couple of years playing, he’s got room for improvement.

“I’m sure knowing Brendan Rodgers he will be working on these details. Young defenders mature a little later but he’s a fantastic prospect.”

Chilwell will surely develop into a real top-class player and hopefully that will be here.
