Deal close: Club chief confirms he won’t stop Chilwell replacement from joining Chelsea

Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing Ajax left-back Nicolas Tagliafico if a move for Leicester City left-back Ben Chilwell fails.

Ajax chief Marc Overmars has confirmed the Dutch club won’t the left-back’s move if all conditions are good for both parties.

Overmars told Ajax TV: “Nico is 28 years old and so I understand that he wants to take a nice step.

“Then you want to think about it. If that opportunity is there, then you should not deprive him of that opportunity.

“But only if all conditions are good for both parties. We just have to make sure we have good replacements.”
