Liverpool Eyeing Chelsea and England Defender for Summer Transfer
Liverpool is reportedly interested in Chelsea defender Levi Colwill as the Blues prepare to offload academy players to balance their books in the upcoming summer transfer window. The 20-year-old Colwill, who returned from a successful loan spell at Brighton last summer, has become a regular in Mauricio Pochettino’s first team, making 29 appearances in all competitions this season.
Although Colwill signed a six-year contract with Chelsea last August, the club is under pressure to comply with Premier League profit and sustainability rules. This has led to speculation that players like Conor Gallagher, Ian Maatsen, Armando Broja, Trevoh Chalobah, and Colwill could be on their way out of Stamford Bridge. Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain are said to be monitoring Colwill’s situation closely.
Despite interest from other clubs, Chelsea is reportedly not willing to entertain offers for Colwill, who made his senior international debut for England in a friendly against Australia last October. The young defender had been a doubt for Chelsea’s match against Manchester City but impressed in the game, drawing praise from former Chelsea player William Gallas.
Gallas believes that Colwill has the potential to take over from Thiago Silva and become the leader of Chelsea’s defense in the future. However, he suggests that Colwill would benefit from playing alongside an experienced defender to help him reach his full potential. With speculation surrounding Thiago Silva’s future at Chelsea, Gallas thinks it is crucial for the club to bring in a world-class defender to partner with Colwill next season.
As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Levi Colwill and whether Liverpool can secure his services from Chelsea. Stay tuned for more updates on this potential transfer saga.
