Liverpoolneed a left-sided central defєɴԀer like Chelsea’sLevi Colwill,Redmen TVpresenterPaul Machinhas told GIVEMESPORT.
The Reds have been linked with RB Leipzig’s Joško Gvardiol, but Machin thinks the English youngster could be a good alternative to the Croatian.
Back in April, theEvening Standardclaimed thatLevi Colwillwas a top target for bothLiverpooland Manchester City.
Brighton & Hove Albion, where the 20-year-old spent last season on loan, are also interested. According to theMailOnline, the Seagulls are weighing up making a £40m bid after having a £30m offer turned down byChelsea.
As well as Colwill,Liverpoolhave also been looking at Gvardiol. As perFootball Insider, the Merseyside club are “huge admirers” of the Leipzig star, but a Ԁєɑł is unlikely because of his price tag.
It means Jürgen Klopp will have to explore other options, such as Colwill.
What has Paul Machin said aboutLevi Colwilland Liverpool?
Machin is adamant thatLiverpoolneed a central defєɴԀer of Colwill’s profile and thinks he would fit in well at the club because of his homegrown status.
When asked about potential alternatives to Gvardiol, the Redmen TV presenter told GIVEMESPORT:”I think someone likeLevi ColwillatChelsea, who’s had a really good season at Brighton, he can do that left-sided centre-half role. He can do a bit of left-back as well.
“There’s obviously some major rebuilding work being done atChelseathis summer. It doesn’t look like there’s terrific value from there at the moment. They seem to be digging their heels in over price on a number of footballers, which is why I think Mason Mount hasn’t moved to Manchester United just yet. But I think he fits the homegrown culture closer and he fulfils that left-sided centre-half need that I thinkLiverpoolhave.”
WillLiverpoolsignLevi Colwillthis summer?
Colwill certainly could be a great addition to thisLiverpoolside. As perFBref, he has ranked in the 92nd percentile for progressive passes and the 88th for progressive carries among his positional peers.
It shows that the England U21 international is quite a modern-day defєɴԀer.
AreChelseaprepared to sell him, though? The answer is probably not, withThe Guardianɾєρօɾτing that they want him to be a part of Mauricio Pochettino’s squad next season.
