Sections of the Chelsea fanbase have poked fun at Brighton for an 'insulting' bid to sign Levi Colwill. The 20-year-old defender has been heavily linked with a return to Brighton this summer following impressive performances while on loan at the Amex Stadium.
Colwill, who sees his contract at Stamford Bridge expire in 2025, featured 17 times for the Seagulls in the Premier League this term, helping Roberto De Zerbi's side claim a Europa League qualification spot. football.london understands that the Blues have been very impressed with the England youth international's progress and he's expected to be a key player under Mauricio Pochettino.
Nevertheless, the west Londoners have outright rejected a £30million bid from Brighton for Colwill, according to Sky Sports – a fee which is equal to that of club-record signing Joao Pedro, who joins from Watford this summer. After news of the Seagulls' bid broke out, Chelsea supporters mocked the 'offensive' bid.
