Liverpool transfer target grew up with 'posters of Steven Gerrard' in his bedroom

Liverpool transfer target Levi Colwill idolised Steven Gerrard so much that he had pictures of the Reds icon on his bedroom wall. The defender has been linked with a move to Anfield amid his uncertain Chelsea future.

Reports claim that Colwill is due for talks with new Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino once he returns from England duty at the U21 European Championship. He will seek clarity over his role within the Argentine’s plans and apparently does not want to act as back-up.

“Growing up [my idol] was always Steven Gerrard, I would be watching him, he’s a leader. I was just amazed by him, I used to have pictures of him in my room,” Colwill told Goal in 2021.

Colwill will return to Chelsea to find several first-team stars competing for the centre-back positions. It remains unclear if Pochettino plans to play a back four or a back three, leaving Colwill guessing whether he will have a strong chance of regular action.
