Levi Colwill spotted in Liverpool shirt, igniting Anfield transfer speculation with cryptic tweet

by · Published · Updated

Liverpool FC has wasted no time in bolstering its ranks this summer with two significant acquisitions, leaving fans eager for further arrivals before the transfer window slams shut. The first newcomer, Alexis Mac Allister, arrived from Brighton in a £35 million deal, swiftly followed by Dominik Szoboszlai’s £60 million transfer from RB Leipzig. These midfield reinforcements have provided Jurgen Klopp with a much-needed boost, prompting speculation that he may now turn his attention to strengthening other areas of the squad.

One position that Liverpool is reportedly targeting for reinforcement is central defense, particularly a left-side center-back. Among the names linked to a potential move to Anfield is Levi Colwill, a talented defender currently with Chelsea. Colwill spent the previous season on loan at Brighton, making 22 appearances across all competitions and helping the team secure a commendable sixth-place finish in the Premier League, earning them qualification for the Europa League.

The 20-year-old Colwill has continued to impress during his time with the England U21 national team at Euro 2023, contributing to their journey to the final in Romania and Georgia. Notably, England has not conceded a single goal on their path to the championship clash against Spain on Sunday.

After England’s convincing 3-0 victory over Israel in the semi-finals, Colwill took to social media, posting a message that read, “One last push! Onto the final.” Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott responded to the tweet with a cryptic reply, saying, “Let’s have a chat” accompanied by a laughing emoji. This exchange has ignited speculation that Elliott’s connection and persuasion could potentially sway Colwill towards a move to Anfield this summer.

Fueling the rumors further, a resurfaced image of Colwill wearing a Liverpool shirt as a young fan has circulated on social media. It has been reported that Colwill idolized Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard while growing up—a fact that adds an intriguing layer to the potential transfer saga.

In a previous interview with The Athletic, Colwill spoke about his future plans and mentioned that he would make a decision following the conclusion of the U21 Euros. Expressing gratitude towards Brighton for their trust in him, he emphasized his desire to repay their faith. While keeping his options open, he acknowledged the love he has for Brighton and their fans, suggesting it would factor into his decision-making process.

As the summer progresses and the U21 Euros draw to a close, the fate of Levi Colwill remains uncertain. Liverpool fans eagerly await news of any potential deal, while the player himself weighs his options amidst the allure of Anfield and the fondness he holds for his current club.
