Chelsea dealt huge transfer blow
According to Fabrizio Romano, Levi Colwill is 'likely' to leave on a permanent transfer this summer amid growing interest in the young Chelsea defender. The 19-year-old's increasingly uncertain future in west London follows Thomas Tuchel's and Todd Boehly's plan to sign three world-class centre backs this summer.
TalkSPORT have claimed that the Cobham graduate, who has been compared to John Terry in the past, is expected to leave the Blues this summer. And, Southampton are the latest side interested.
It has also been reported by Goal that Arsenal, too, have registered an interest in acquiring Colwill's signature this summer, with Leicester City keeping tabs on the situation. Romano adds that Crystal Palace, Brighton and Nottingham Forest have enquired about defender.

Colwill, whose contract at Stamford Bridge expires in 2025, featured 29 times for Huddersfield Town in the Championship last season, steering Carlos Corberán's side towards the Premier League. His impressive performances booked the Terriers a place in the play-off final against Nottingham Forest - though, unfortunately for the defender, he fell at the final hurdle.
Hazard available
According to Spanish outlet Relevo, Eden Hazard is on the market this summer. The report claims that, 'despite the 31-year-old's improvement in recent months', Real Madrid will not stop the Belgian leaving if any clubs show interest.
Despite his improvement in recent months, Madrid will make it easy for him to leave if any club shows interest. Though, Relevo add that Carlo Ancelotti will give Hazard the chance to recapture his best form if he does stay put.
