Liverpool and Man City want the jewel in Chelsea’s academy crown

It’s another morning of scary stories for Chelsea fans.

Today, Nizaar Kinsella in the Evening Standard is reporting that Man City and Liverpool are increasing intent on signing Levi Colwill, the brilliant Chelsea academy product currently having a superb first Premier League season at Brighton, where he is on loan.

Colwill’s contract expires in 2025, and it seems that with two years to go, teams are starting to gather around one of English football’s top young gems.

Chelsea have dug themselves into a financial hole by spending so much in the last 12 months, and in some cases it seems their only way out is selling homegrown stars.

Unless we can persuade the 20 year old to sign a new contract this summer, he will be into the final two years of his deal and the club will have to seriously consider selling him.

If that were to happen, the mood at Stamford Bridge would truly turn mutinous.
