Who can Leicester place in the void left by Chilwell after his Chelsea move
Rico Henry – 23 – Brentford
Possibly the most underrated, yet the most interesting option of the three is Brentford’s flying fullback, Rico Henry.
At 23, Henry is the same age as Chilwell, and with a rumoured £15 million price tag, he might be a steal for a dynamic homegrown left back.
In 40-plus Championship games for the Bees last term, Henry showcased his all-round skills, with remarkably similar defensive statistics to Chilwell.

In attack, Henry produced only 2 assists – however, anyone who watched Brentford’s dynamic attacking play would know his pace, runs and link-up play were crucial in creating space and chances for his teammates.
Like Ricardo Pereira on the opposite flank at Leicester, Henry could bomb forward and create overloads, giving creative central players like James Maddison and Jamie Vardy time and space to do their thing.

All things considered, this may be a steal of a signing should Leicester go for Henry to replace Chilwell.
