Tottenham want highly-rated Chelsea defender Levi Colwill in shock transfer after impressing at Brighton


TOTTENHAM are among Levi Colwill’s many admirers.

The England Under-21 centre-back has impressed on loan from Chelsea at high-flying Brighton this season.

He has featured in 15 games in all competitions and forged a strong partnership with Albion skipper Lewis Dunk.

Colwill will return to Stamford Bridge in the summer and assess the situation under whoever Todd Boehly appoints as the next Blues permanent manager.

Chelsea may well want to keep the 20-year-old who is one of the most highly-rated young defenders in the country.

But with no European football next term boosting their coffers after this term’s £600million splurge, Boehly may be forced to sell some of his homegrown stars.

Mason Mount and Conor Gallagher are two of the most likely to move on – but Colwill will also have plenty of suitors should Chelsea decide to cash in.

The classy centre-back is being monitored by most of the Premier League, including Spurs.

But Chelsea reportedly have no intention to let the star go.

Tottenham are in need of reinforcements at the back having shipped 45 league goals this term, which is the worst of all the top 13 clubs in the table.
