Leicester City defender Ben Chilwell admits turning down Liverpool as a teenager.

And the England international insists he has no regrets.

"I was 17 at the time. My agent looked at it all by talking to Liverpool and Leicester about the situation," Chilwell told Sky Sports.

"At that time I was breaking through the U21 team at Leicester, so I was just focused on getting in there and moving on to the first team here.

"I certainly have no regrets. Looking back at how the past four, five years have gone with eight starts for England, I am very pleased.

"Leicester was the right place for me at the time and the older players have helped me a lot. The staff has kept me to the ground, so I certainly have no regrets."
