Levi Colwill is earning plenty of plaudits for his stellar season on loan at Brighton and it is clear the Seagulls are desperate to keep him at the Amex on a permanent basis.
That much was made clear by their £30million bid for the technically-gifted defender, but it looks as if Colwill shall stay put at parent club Chelsea. New manager Mauricio Pochettino is thought to be a keen admirer and has got big plans for the 20-year-old.
Brighton's offer was swiftly rejected by those at the top of the Stamford Bridge hierarchy, amid reports that suggest Chelsea aren't prepared to even entertain any offers for Colwill such is the high regard he is held in by key Blues figures.
