FOUR Premier League clubs are eyeing highly rated Chelsea centre-back Levi Colwill, according to reports.
The 19-year-old defender spent last season on loan at Championship outfit Huddersfield.
He made 32 appearances for Hudderfield and helped the Terriers reach the play-off final.
But they were beaten 1-0 by Nottingham Forest in a nail-biting Wembley affair.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Colwill’s future at parent club Chelsea will be decided this summer.
The Blues want to sign two centre-backs this summer which could open the door for Colwill to leave.

Leicester, Crystal Palace, Brighton and Steve Cooper’s Forest are all interested in taking Colwill on a permanent transfer.
Colwill has openly stated his desire to stay and play at Chelsea.
But he isn’t afraid to leave in pursuit of regular first-team football.
He said: “For me, playing for Chelsea will always be the main aim right now because it’s my club.
“But if that doesn’t happen, well then I have to find other ways to progress and become the player I want to be.”
