Wenger still keen on Leicester teenager?

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger will reportedly try again to sign Leicester City teenager Ben Chilwell this summer.

The Gunners were in hot pursuit of the 19-year-old left-back in the mid-season transfer window and were thought to have considered a bid of £5m at the time.

According to The Mirror, Wenger views Chilwell as a potential long-term replacement for Kieran Gibbs in the back four and will offer him a weekly wage of £18,000 to tempt him to the Emirates.

The Foxes are said to have offered Chilwell, who also features for the England Under-20s, a new deal but have not offered as high a salary as Arsenal.

Chilwell has not featured for Leicester in the league this season, making just three appearances for the senior side in the cup competitions.
