Chelsea's hopes of landing Leicester City left-back Ben Chilwell have received a boost.
Frank Lampard is desperate to sign a star player at the position after being left unimpressed with Marcos Alonso and Emerson this season.
Chilwell is his top priority, with Ajax's Nicolas Tagliafico also being considered.
The Daily Mail says Leicester are now preparing for life without their England International by searching for a replacement.
Ryan Bertrand is their main target but Southampton are moving to tie him down to a new contract.
The 30-year-old has one year remaining on his contract and is currently rated at £10m.
Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers worked with Bertrand at both Chelsea and Reading.
