After colwill returned to chelsea from a promising loan contract with chelsea, liverpool and brighton expressed an interest in signing him last summer. Colwill made 22 appearances for the seagulls last season before shining as england won the u-21 european championship in the summer without conceding a single goal. The 20-year-old has since been signed to chelsea’s squad and has appeared in all but one of the club’s premier league games this season. The blues have no intention of selling colwill, who captained the west londoners against manchester united last month and signed a new six-year contract with him in august.
However, 90min has reported that liverpool is continuing to monitor his situation as the reds look to sign a left-sided centre-back in the coming transfer windows. In recent weeks, jurgen klopp’s side has been linked with a number of central defenders, including sporting libon’s goncalo inacio, nice’s jean-clair todibo, and borussia monchengladbach’s ko itakura. Liverpool is currently lacking in defensive depth, with left-backs andy robertson and kostas tsimikas out injured. Joel matip is also expected to miss the remainder of the season due to an acl injury and could have played his last game for liverpool before his deal expires in the summer.
