Chelsea defender Levi Colwill has been a key player for Xabi Alonso this season, featuring in all but one Premier League game so far.
In total, Colwill has made eight starts, firmly putting his terrible ACL injury behind him. Despite missing almost an entire year of football, Colwill is still one of the most exciting young defenders in England, making it no surprise that he has admirers outside of Chelsea.
One of those admirers is thought to be Liverpool. But if the Reds are thinking about signing the 23-year-old, they can forget about it.
What is Chelsea's best XI when everyone is fit? Here is our team! – What do you think?
I hate to say it,we will lose today
Ahaha class. He’s got a great chant too so gotta love him
Hazard was definitely that type of player but the reaction Estevao gets is just different. He reminds me of that famous clip where Messi starts warming up and all the Barca fans go mad. 60 year old blokes shouting Stevo all game even when he’s on the bench 😂
According to TEAMtalk, Liverpool have made an approach for Colwill in the past and remain keen on the Englishman. However, he is not for sale.
The same outlet claims that Chelsea have no intention of selling their academy graduate to Liverpool or anyone else and want to hand him a new contract instead. His existing deal expires in 2029, meaning that he will have just two years left by the end of the season.
The Blues, though, have the option to extend his contract by a further year. But given his importance to the side and potential, they will want to tie him down for much longer.

At the start of the campaign, some Chelsea fans were quite critical of Colwill. The England international was struggling a bit on the left side of Alonso’s back three.
Since returning to a back four, Colwill has looked much more comfortable and helped Chelsea to keep a clean sheet last weekend after playing in the 2-0 defeat of Manchester United. It was only their second shutout in the Premier League this season.
Josh Acheampong has probably been Chelsea’s best defender under Alonso, but Colwill has definitely shown improvement lately. Alonso will be glad to have both players in his team. The pair will be looking for a third clean sheet on Sunday when they travel to Sunderland.
