The youngster has been in top form this season and earned up a call to the international setup as well. Now it looks like even better days are in the offing for the 21-year-old as he could potentially enrich his game under the tutelage of Pep Guardiola.
There is also a suggestion that Pep Guardiola is none too impressed with Benjamin Mendy's occasional tardiness and social media activity. As such, there are talks that this could go on to be a long-term project for Pep.
Chilwell reportedly earns £110,000 a week but Manchester City are not expected to be put off by that.
