Roberto De Zerbi has insisted that he would love to continue working with Levi Colwil at Brighton, branding the defender as a 'top player'. The 20-year-old has attracted plenty of interest following his impressive performances while out on loan at the Amex Stadium this season.
Colwill, who sees his contract at Stamford Bridge expiring in 2025, has featured 14 times for the Seagulls this term, helping the Seagulls keep six clean sheets. The England youth international's eye-catching displays have helped Brighton claim a Europa League qualification spot ahead of Tottenham and, his parent club, Chelsea.
football.london understands that the Blues have been very impressed with Colwill's progress and he's expected to be a key player under Mauricio Pochettino – should be appointed. However, it could be difficult for the west Londoners to hold onto the youngster with De Zerbi doubling down on his intent to secure his signature.
