Liverpool reportedly admire Chelsea youngster Levi Colwill.
Colwill, 20, is an exciting young defender to come through the Blues academy system at Cobham.
The left-footed centre-back is yet to make his first-team debut in Chelsea colours, but he’s had some excellent senior experience recently out on loan.
His current loan spell this season is with Premier League rivals Brighton, where he’s managed to make a good impression.
According to GOAL, Premier League giants Liverpool have set their sights on Colwill.
The report explains that Jurgen Klopp’s side like the 20-year-old prospect, but the rivalry with Chelsea could stand in the way of any transfer to Anfield.
Recent speculation suggests that the centre-half may have an important future at Stamford Bridge, too.
The Telegraph recently claimed that Graham Potter has big ideas for Colwill because he could be in first-team plans at Chelsea next season. He may be in line for a new contract as well.
There’s a lot of centre-halves currently in the Chelsea squad, which is why it’s hard to think of many loanees or youngsters that could force their way into contention.
However, it would be a massive mistake if the club let Colwill slip through their fingers.
The England Under-21 international plays with such composure and clarity for a young talent, proving himself at Premier League level recently.
If Chelsea do revert to a back three, there’s definitely room for Colwill to be a big part of the squad next season.
