Chelsea has successfully put an end to the transfer saga surrounding defender Levi Colwill by reaching a new six-year contract agreement with him, thwarting Brighton’s interest in the player.

According to The Athletic, negotiations for the academy graduate’s long-term deal have concluded, though the new terms are yet to be officially signed.

 

  • New six-year contract agreed
  • Brighton showed interest following a successful loan
  • Chelsea is poised to secure his commitment

Nonetheless, Colwill is set to reject Brighton’s advances and commit to Chelsea until 2029.
