Liverpool are to move for a Chelsea star with Mauricio Pochettino getting revenge by signing a £50m midfielder, Leeds are on the brink of a double Bundesliga deal, while Thursday’s Transfer Gossip claims Newcastle are to offload one winger and sign another.
KLOPP PLANS FRESH LIVERPOOL SWOOP FOR LEVI COLWI
Liverpool are reportedly planning a firm bid to test Chelsea’s resolve to keep Levi Colwill after making the England U21 star one of their major summer targets
The Reds have acted swiftly to strengthen their squad this summer, spending just shy of £100m on Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai
However, while Jurgen Klopp still wants to add another midfielder to the mix, he is also keen to strengthen his defence. To that end, the Reds are seemingly ready to part with Joel Matip, with the former Cameroon international having just 12 months left of his deal.
And with a new centre-half on their shopping list, Liverpool are being linked with Sporting Lisbon defender Goncalo Inacio.
The Portuguese star, however, would not come cheap, with the 21-year-old having a €45m (£39m) exit clause in his deal.
Instead, football.london claims Liverpool are ready to switch their focus towards Chelsea star Colwill.
The 20-year-old excelled during a season’s loan with Brighton, who are keen to keep him permanently. To that end, Chelsea have already rejected one £30m approach from the Seagulls.
And while they could come in again, they are likely to be gazumped by interest from Liverpool.
Colwill is currently impressing for England U21s, who are through to the European U21 Championship final, where they will play Spain.
And Mauricio Pochettino reportedly wants to keep the player around for the forthcoming season after selling Kalidou Koulibaly.
Chelsea could get Colwill revenge by snapping up Romeo Lavia
However, his current deal has just two years to run and Liverpool believe they can tempt Chelsea into his sale.
