Leicester are preparing themselves for summer interest in Chilwell, with the 22-year-old having been linked with a move to Manchester City with Pep Guardiola concerned by Benjamin Mendy’s prolonged injury problems.

Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers had hoped to be reunited with Scotland international Tierney at the King Power Stadium, having managed the player during his time in charge at Celtic Park.
