Arsenal: Gunners plotting Levi Colwill move

Arsenal: Gunners plotting Levi Colwill move - Arsenal News

Arsenal are reportedly plotting a summer move for Chelsea central defender Levi Colwill, who is currently on loan at Brighton and Hove Albion.

The Lowdown: Impressive season

Colwill is enjoying an impressive season at Brighton, where he had started five Premier League games in a row for them before picking up a nasty injury.

Brighton are currently pushing for European qualification, and the 20-year-old has played his part in that.

The Latest: Arsenal plotting move

As per Football Insider, Arsenal are ‘monitoring’ Colwill’s progress at the Seagulls, and are plotting a move for him when he returns to Stamford Bridge.

They are in the market for a left-sided defender and believe Colwill, who can play as a left-sided centre-back, on the left of a back three or at left-back, fits the bill.

However, they will face competition from fellow top-flight rivals Liverpool for his signature.

The Verdict: Where does that leave Kiwior?

The Gunners signed another left-sided defender in Jakub Kiwior in the January transfer window, but he is yet to make a first-team appearance.

With Gabriel Magalhaes already at the club, it seems strange for them to go for Colwill as well, unless they are thinking more about left-back cover instead, with Kieran Tierney linked with an exit.

Hailed as a ‘Rolls Royce‘ by pundit Anton Ferdinand, Colwill would be an exciting addition, and the North Londoners have history of signing players from Chelsea, with the Jorginho the latest on a list that includes the likes of Petr Cech, David Luiz and Willian.
