Levi Colwill is adamant he's "got to play" next season as he weighs up his options with Chelsea determined to keep the defender.
Colwill has come through the ranks at the Blues but has been sent out on loan to aid his development in the past two seasons, most recently to Brighton. He excelled for the Seagulls as they completed the double over Chelsea, finishing higher than them to secure European football for the first time.
As a result, the young centre-halves stock has risen at a rapid rate, which has again be furthered by success with England's U21s at the weekend. There is notable interest in Colwill, particularly from Liverpool who are eyeing a left-sided defender, with Brighton already having a bid turned down by Chelsea, who have no plans to offload him.
