Tottenham Hotspur have joined the race to sign young Chelsea star Levi Colwill, who is also attracting interest from Liverpool and Manchester City. The 20-year-old center-back has emerged as a target for Spurs as they look to rebuild their squad under manager Ange Postecoglou. While there have been rumors of a potential free transfer for Clement Lenglet from Barcelona, Wolfsburg’s Micky van de Ven is now their primary target. However, the £30 million price tag on Van de Ven could pose a challenge for Tottenham, and they are now facing competition from Liverpool for Colwill’s signature.
Another potential target for Tottenham is Edmond Tapsoba from Bayer Leverkusen, but if they fail to secure Van de Ven, Colwill is being considered as an alternative option. The young defender had an impressive loan spell at Brighton last season and played a key role in England’s U21 Euros victory this summer, where the team did not concede a single goal. His performances have caught the attention of Liverpool, Manchester City, and Brighton throughout the transfer window, but Chelsea is determined to keep hold of him.
Mauricio Pochettino, the new manager of Paris Saint-Germain, is keen on signing Colwill as one of his four center-backs alongside Thiago Silva, Wesley Fofana, and Benoit Badiashile. As Chelsea’s stance on keeping Colwill becomes clearer, interest from other clubs is starting to wane. Brighton has already had multiple offers rejected by Chelsea, including a club-record bid of £40 million. Liverpool has other targets in mind, and Manchester City will only pursue Colwill if they fail to sign Josko Gvardiol from RB Leipzig.
Colwill, who is yet to make his senior debut for Chelsea, is currently taking a rest following England’s U21 Euros victory. He is expected to join his club on their pre-season tour in the USA, where they will face Wrexham, Brighton, Newcastle, Fulham, and Dortmund.
In other news, there has been controversy surrounding Jordan Henderson’s potential move to Saudi Arabia. Former Liverpool player Jamie Carragher believes Henderson will face criticism if he decides to make the move. Additionally, a Saudi Arabian side is reportedly preparing a £30 million bid for Manchester City’s Riyad Mahrez.
