Ex Chelsea defender, Glen Johnson has begged his former club to keep pursuing Leicester City player, Ben Chilwell.
Glen Johnson recently revealed that Chilwell is definitely an improvement on Alonso at left-back.
According to him, he is a huge fan of Chilwell because he loves the way he carries himself and he will surely be the type of player Lampard would connect with.
He added that Ben is the type of left-back Chelsea has been crying out for in a long while so they cannot miss this opportunity.
His words, “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 [Frank Lampard] 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.”
He added, “Alonso is a fantastic player. But I don’t think he’s a solid natural left-back,”
“There’s no doubt he is a wonderful footballer but Chilwell is a natural full-back.
“It’s a hefty price tag, there’s no doubting that, but if [Chelsea] can get a deal for him that is reasonable then he’s a player they should try to get.”
