Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool have been linked with Chelsea defender Levi Colwill.
According to 90min, Liverpool and Manchester City are interested in signing Levi Colwill from Premier League rivals Chelsea in the summer transfer window.
The report has claimed that Liverpool have made two enquires for the defender.
The latest enquiry was made in recent weeks and was “swiftly” dismissed by Chelsea, who want to keep the defender.
However, according to 90min, the 20-year-old will hold talks with new Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino when he returns from England Under-21 duty and then take it from there regarding his future.
Could Liverpool sign Levi Colwill from Chelsea?
In our opinion, Liverpool could be able to sign Levi Colwill from Chelsea in the summer transfer window.
Yes, Chelsea may be adamant now that they will sell the 20-year-old, but we have to consider the player’s wishes as well.
The defender spent last season on loan at Brighton and Hove Albion from Chelsea.
And he is playing for the England Under-21 side at the moment.
Naturally, you would expect the 20-year-old to least stand a chance of playing regularly for Chelsea next season.
After all, playing first-team football is the only way that Colwill would develop and improve as a defender.
Now, if Pochettino is unable to assure the youngster that he will get playing time for Chelsea, then there is a chance that Colwill could want to leave the Blues this summer.
And that could open the door for Liverpool.
