Everton express interest to sign Chelsea loanee Levi Colwill
Everton have reportedly expressed an interest in signing Chelsea youngster Levi Colwill this summer.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio‘s official website, a host of clubs are keeping tabs on the 19-year-old.
He has excelled on loan at Huddersfield Town this season, making 27 appearances in the Championship.
Leicester, Southampton and Fulham are the other clubs who are looking to secure the centre-back’s services.
Chelsea are understood to be impressed with the progress he’s shown on loan this season and will give him the chance to impress in pre season.
Worth considering
The Toffees have lacked good young defenders for a number of seasons and that problem has been pretty obvious of late.
The likes of Ben Godfrey, Michael Keane and Mason Holgate have all struggled and it’s time that a younger crop of defenders challenges them for first-team minutes.
Even Godfrey arrived as an understudy before making a name for himself in the first team.
Colwill could join in the summer and then fight his way up their ranks under Frank Lampard or whoever the manager is then.
Chelsea will assess the youngster in pre-season and then make a final decision but Everton must not lose hope.
Hopefully, the Toffees can convince them into letting go of one of their young talents.
