Fabrizio Romano has claimed that he has been told by sources at Chelsea that they are still insistent at Levi Colwill staying.

He took to YouTube to state that he believes the club are prepared to fight hard to keep hold of the defender this summer.

After achieving glory on the international stage, talk regarding Colwill quickly turned to his future at club level.

Brighton, who were fortunate enough to have him on loan last season, have been prepared to smash their transfer record in order to bring the Englishman in this summer.

They have been joined as a side interested in his services by Liverpool, who could form a sensational partnership with him alongside Virgil Van Dijk.

However, Romano has claimed that the Blues are still convinced he is part of their project going forwards.

Romano offers Colwill update

He said: “The interest is 100% confirmed and genuine. It is a very strong interest. People at Liverpool Levi Colwill and they believe this is fantastic player. This is all people at the club.

“The interest is very strong. But at the moment, honestly, it’s really complicated to speak on this situation.

“Yesterday night, after England under-21’s won the Euros, I was asking again to Chelsea side and the answer I was getting back was he was going nowhere, he is our player, he is a crucial player and part of our project. I really feel Chelsea are prepared to fight for this player.

“I think the only way Levi Colwill will leave Chelsea this summer is in case the player goes there to meet Pochettino, the owners and the board and tells them let me go because I don’t want to stay here. That didn’t happen until now.”

Mauricio Pochettino now has a job on his hands to convince the youngster that he does have a future at Stamford Bridge, and can be an important Chelsea player.
