Leicester defender Chilwell a fan of Liverpool fullback Robertson

Leicester City defender Ben Chilwell admits he's a fan of Liverpool fullback Andy Robertson.

Chilwell's revelation comes ahead of the Foxes trip to face the Reds this weekend at Anfield, with former Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers returning to the club.

Speaking to Leicester's official website ahead of the game, Chilwell said: "He's a great player.

"He's been the best full-back in the world, I'd say, and that's not even an exaggeration.

"I definitely watch his game, as someone who's a little older, and when Liverpool are on TV, I watch him to see what he's doing and how I can improve.

"Someone like him, who's getting assists and going forward, he's one of the best.

"But he's also very good defensively as well so he's definitely someone that I look up to at the moment.

"Hopefully I can challenge him and I'm confident that I can be challenging him as one of the best in the world as well."
