Chelsea might have pushed Levi Colwill closer to Liverpool switch after £105m transfers

Liverpool are continuing to monitor Levi Colwill’s situation at Chelsea as the centre-back prepares for talks with Mauricio Pochettino.

Reports in London claim the Reds have made ‘multiple enquiries’ for the England Under-21s international, who has just won the European Championships with the young Lions. However, Chelsea aren’t interested in selling the 20-year-old, following his return from a season-long loan at Brighton & Hove Albion.

Yet the defender’s future remains uncertain, with his talks with his new manager when he reports for pre-season likely to determine what happens next.

Colwill made 22 appearances with the Seagulls last season, following on from making 32 appearances during a year-long temporary stint with Huddersfield Town in the Championship in 2021/22. Yet to make his Chelsea debut, the 20-year-old just wants to play.

"I’ll speak to my family, speak to everyone I need to and make a decision,” Colwill said about his future after the Under-21s European Championships final. “I’ve got to play at the end of the day to hopefully get there (England senior team) and go to the next camp.”

Meanwhile, ahead of holding talks with the defender, Pochettino recently explained: "I need to get a feel for him. I need to hear what he has in his mind. What he expects. And then, of course, for him to listen to what I expect from him."

Chelsea want Colwill to sign a new long-term contract at Stamford Bridge, while his current deal, which expires in 2025, does contain an option for the club to extend by a further year if he plays a certain amount of games?
