Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino sends message to Levi Colwill amid Liverpool interest
Chelsea Mauricio Pochettino has said that he will hold talks with Levi Colwill amidst reported interest in the defender from Liverpool and Brighton & Hove Albion.
Colwill came through the Blues' Cobham academy, but is yet to make a senior appearance. He spent last season on loan at Brighton, helping them keep three clean sheets in 17 Premier League games and also provided two assists.
According to the Mirror, Liverpool are interested in signing Colwill this summer. As per The Guardian, meanwhile, Brighton is also hoping to sign the Englishman permanently, but has seen a £30 million bid being rejected by Chelsea.
Amidst all that, new Blues manager Mauricio Pochettino shared his thoughts on Colwill's situation:
“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 are unwilling to part ways with Colwill this summer. With Kalidou Koulibaly leaving the club, the youngster might look to get some opportunities in the senior team next season.
Colwill, 20, also recently won the UEFA U21 European Championships with England U21, helping his side keep five clean sheets in as many games.
