Fuchs has no doubts about potential of Leicester pal Chilwell

Leicester City veteran Christian Fuchs has no doubts about the potential of Ben Chilwell.

Fuchs was Leicester's regular left-back during their title-winning season of 2015-16 but Chilwell has since taken over the reins.

The 23-year-old has already made 11 appearances for England and is attracting interest from several Premier League clubs.

"He has definitely improved," the 33-year-old told Goal.

"He is still a young player who is playing at a very high level.

"He has a good amount of England caps already, which just shows his ability. At an early age like that, to play for the national team for that amount of games is really good.

"As a young player, I have been in that situation: you still find yourself learning a lot from games and facing other teams. So, he is in a good place and I think he will be one of the top left-backs in England for years to come.

"The good thing for him is that, at 23, he is still young, with a lot of potential to improve in the future."
