Chelsea star Levi Colwill wanted in four-way Premier League transfer fight with Nottingham Forest eyeing 19-year-old | The Sun

FOUR Premier League clubs are eyeing highly rated Chelsea centre-back Levi Colwill, according to reports.

The 19-year-old defender spent last season on loan at Championship outfit Huddersfield.

He made 32 appearances for Hudderfield and helped the Terriers reach the play-off final.

But they were beaten 1-0 by Nottingham Forest in a nail-biting Wembley affair.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Colwill's future at parent club Chelsea will be decided this summer.

The Blues want to sign two centre-backs this summer which could open the door for Colwill to leave.
