Former Chelsea right-back Glen Johnson has hailed Leicester City left-back Ben Chilwell as a good fit for Frank Lampard’s Chelsea.

The 23-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge, with Lampard keen on strengthening Chelsea’s left-back position.

Johnson told talkSPORT: “I’ve said many times I am a fan of Chilwell, I like the way he carries himself.

“You don’t really hear him unless it’s football related, which I like, and I think he’s the sort of player Lamps would connect with.

“He’s the sort of out-and-out left-back they haven’t had for a while. I know Ashley Cole was irreplaceable, but in terms of a natural, solid left-back, they haven’t had one for a while and I think he’ll do very well.”
