#5 Ben Chilwell (Leicester City)

Manchester United v Leicester City - Premier League
Chilwell has established himself as Leicester's first choice left-back

Of all the players on the list, none have more Premier League experience than Chilwell. Over the last couple of years, he has been more of a rotation option for Leicester City, playing as a backup to Christian Fuchs.

This season however, he has been a mainstay in the Leicester starting XI. This looks likely to be the case for a number of years now, with Fuchs confirming that this will be his final season with Leicester.

At the World Cup in Russia, Ashley Young was England’s first choice left wing-back, and although he didn’t fare badly, he isn’t naturally a left-back, and he did at times look slightly out of place.

Chilwell is naturally a full-back, and has experience playing as a wing-back as well. He is still young, but has progressed well in recent years, so could offer some real balance to this England team, and he would do an excellent job.
