Liverpool have been b🥀usy in the summer transfer market, making two major signings already.

The Red🐬s needed to bolster their midfield ranks and they’ve done📖 just that with Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai.

Rumours are doing the rounds suggesting Liverpool may go for🗹 a third. Southampton’s Romeo Lavia ♍is purportedly a target.

However, there’s also talk of the Reds potentially moving for a defender. Chelsea’s Levi Colwill i༺s apღparently on the Anfield radar.

recently reported that Liverpool ‘remain iꦯnterested🍃’ in the 20-year-old centre-back.

Understandably, the Blues are seemingly det♏ermined to keep hold of their young rising star.

Dean Jones has now provided an update on Liverpool and their interest in Colwill this summ๊er.

He says the rumꦺours have legs, and said it’s increasingly likely that the Reds will swoop for defensive reinforcements.

“There are rumours about Liverpool holding interest in⛎ Colwill,” he told .

“And I do actually think there is some foundation to that rumou𓃲r, I’ve heard whispers of it too.

“It seems increasingly♌ likely Liverpoolꩲ do look to sign a centre-back as well.

“The thing is, I really do not think Chelsea will sell Colwill. He’s exactly the ty﷽pe of player they need for the new era.

“If he was at another club, they would probably be try𝄹ing to sign him.

“Brighton are obviously keen too but I reckon we could get to༺ the first game of the new season and Colwill is in Chelsea’s starting eleven.

“H🧸e’s so highly thought of bꦬy anyone that works with him.”

Our view

Colwill spent last season on loan at Brighton, where he෴ shone under their outstanding manager Roberto De Zerbi.

The reported Liverpool target is now back in West Lo﷽ndon, where he’ll look to begin pre-season under Mauricio Pochettino.

Accordin𝓡g to the , Colwill w💟ill hold talks with Pochettino directly regarding his future.

Brighton are apparently wil🐭ling to pay £40million to sign him permanently.

He’d be a difficult 🐲signing for Liverpool to pull off, if only because✃ of the potential fresh start under Pochettino.

The Seagulls will also fancy their chances of signing Colwill. They’re in the Europa League and o𓆏n the up.

And the player, who now knows the club inside out, ⛦knows he’ll get fi🔥rst-team football.

Nonetheless, we’ll see what happens in the coming weeks🐼. Colwill is an ‘astonishing’ talent and would bolster any team.

Besides, he already has expꦍerience of playing with two Liverpool rising stars (at England youth level) –
