Leicester City star Robert Huth has lavished praise on young defender Ben Chilwell.

Chilwell is considered a huge talent by the Foxes management and the 18-year-old managed to catch the eye during the club's pre-season campaign.

Chilwell has been working closely with Huth over the summer and the German centre-back has stated that the young defender's talent will take him a long way.

Huth said: "He doesn't need it. He acts like a 25-year-old. He is mature, a very good professional. He comes in every day and wants to learn.

"Everyone will have seen he has got a great talent. Not only is he good going forward, but for a left-sided player you need a defender as well. He is as good a defender as he is an attacker."
