Mauricio Pochettino was asked about Levi Colwill for the first time as Chelsea head coach on Friday afternoon.
The 20-year-old defender is attracting mass interest from elsewhere with just two years remaining on his Chelsea contract. After a superb season on loan at Brighton, Colwill has established himself as one of the country's top young talents and fellow Premier League clubs are interested in signing him this summer.
Liverpool have enquired multiple times about the England Under-21s international, including in the past week or so, football.london understands. However, Chelsea see Colwill as a key part of their plans next season and are determined to keep the defender at Stamford Bridge for the long-term.
