Leicester eye Ajax left back Nicolas Tagliafico to replace Chelsea-bound Ben Chilwell.


Nicolás Alejandro Tagliafico is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a left back for Eredivisie club Ajax.

Leicester City have discussed Ajax left-back Nicolas Tagliafico as they assess replacements for Chelsea-bound Ben Chilwell.

The 27-year-old Argentine has a number of offers and would prefer to join a Champions League side but recognises Leicester's status as a Premier League contender.

Tagliafico, capped 25 times for his country, arrived at Ajax in 2018 from Independiente.

He has since emerged as one of Europe's most sought-after left backs with his Ajax contract set to expire in 2022. 

Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have also been linked with the Argentine. 
Leicester also want a new centre-back with Schalke defender Ozan Kabak among their targets.

The 20-year-old Turkey international could potentially team up with Caglar Soyuncu with Leicester wary that Jonny Evans could also leave this summer amid interest from Premier League rivals.
