Chelsea star 'idolised' Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard amid links with huge transfer switch

Chelsea defender Levi Colwill has previously admitted to idolising former Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard, which included having posters of the England international in his bedroom. It comes as the Cobham academy graduate has been linked with a potential move to Anfield this summer.

The interest follows a breakout season in the Premier League for the youngster, who enjoyed a spell in the Championship with Huddersfield before moving to Brighton on loan. The 20-year-old worked his way into the side and under Roberto De Zerbi, became a mainstay.

Such has been the impressive form of the centre-back, England boss Gareth Southgate took a look at him in training before the under 21 championships, with a future call-up to the senior squad in mind. After securing European football for next season, the Seagulls have tried their luck at landing Colwill permanently, but to no avail so far.
