Chelsea transfer target Ben Chilwell scores screamer but struggles at back as Rio Ferdinand offers £75m left-back advice – The Sun

RIO FERDINAND warned Leicester City left-back Ben Chilwell he still ha s a lot to learn despite the full-back's stunning goal this afternoon.

The 23-year-old scored a screamer for the Foxes in their 1-1 draw with Watford this afternoon.

However, despite his third Premier League goal of the season, the ex-Manchester United defender feels there are areas of Chilwell's defensive game that can be improved upon.

Ferdinand told BT Sport: "It's a staggering goal, phenomenal strike.

"But I thought for the majority of the game when he got stood up one-v-one against [Ismaila] Sarr, he was probably on the receiving end a little bit.

"Maybe his footwork need to improve, his body position when going one-v-one, but his intensity and physicality running forward and his quality when he gets in the opposition half is up there with the best around at the moment."Listen, he's a young lad, he's got areas of his game to improve, obviously.

"We can't expect Ben Chilwell at his age to be the finished article.

"He's just come on to the scene in the Premier League, a couple of years playing, he's got room for improvement.

"I'm sure knowing Brendan Rodgers he will be working on these details.

"Young defenders mature a little later but he's a fantastic prospect."
