Sport

CHELSEA youngster Levi Colwill is reportedly receiving interest from Manchester City and Liverpool.

The 20-year-old centre-back has enjoyed an impressive season on loan at Brighton.

He has made 15 appearances for the Seagulls this season, keeping six clean sheets.

With two years left on his Chelsea contract, he is set to return to West London at the end of the season.

But the Evening Standard are now reporting Man City and Liverpool are sensing an opportunity to poach him away from Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea have spent £600million across the last two transfer windows.

And they are expected to offload players in the summer to recoup some of those funds.

The likes of Mason Mount and Conor Gallagher have been linked with moves away.

And Colwill is understood to be another attracting interest from elsewhere.

Man City could show Aymeric Laporte the exit door and bring Colwill in as another option at the heart of their back line.

Jurgen Klopp is also looking to bolster his defence and Liverpool have identified the England U21 international as a potential acquisition.

Brighton are another team monitoring Colwill's situation as they mull over the possibility of trying to make his loan a permanent move.

As well as his loan spell with Brighton, the centre-half also turned heads with his displays on loan at Huddersfield during their 2021/22 Championship campaign.

He made 32 appearances for The Terriers, helping them reach the play-off final before they were beaten 1-0 by Nottingham Forest.

Colwill wore the No26 shirt while at Huddersfield, leading many Chelsea fans to label him the "new John Terry".
