Brendan Rodgers insists he is "relaxed" about Ben Chilwell's potential exit after Leicester improved when they sold Harry Maguire.

Rodgers refused to wallow in self-pity last summer when Manchester United returned for his star England defender Maguire. He didn't even replace the stopper as Maguire's exit allowed Caglar Soyuncu to step up and blossom.

The Foxes eventually sold when the bidding reached £80million, a new world record for a defender. They then went on to finish fifth this season after coming ninth last term.

Now Leicester are in a similar position as they don't need to sell Chilwell but may do business if the bidding gets so big. Chelsea remain keen to land England left-back Chilwell,23, who has 11 caps.
