“Could be a superb signing” – Fulham eye transfer move for Chelsea player: The verdict

This article is part of Football League World’s ‘The Verdict’ series, which provides personal opinions from the FLW writers regarding the latest breaking news, teams, players, managers, potential signings and more…

Fulham have been credited with an interest in Chelsea defender Levi Colwill, as per gianlucadimarzio.com.

The report states that the Cottagers will face Premier League competition from the likes of Everton, Leicester City and Southampton for the young defender’s services.

Huddersfield Town are also reportedly in the running, with Colwill currently enjoying an excellent temporary spell with the Terriers, however, the Championship outfit’s chances of securing his signature once again revolve around them winning promotion.

The 19-year-old has featured 26 times for Carlos Corberan’s side this season, proving to be an excellent addition in the summer.
