Chelsea starlet Levi Colwill has trained with the England first team this week.
The 20-year-old had been called to represent the under-21 side for the upcoming European Championships, but was then summoned to first-team training following the withdrawals of Lewis Dunk and Jude Bellingham through injury.
Colwill has come through the ranks at Chelsea, and is the latest in a long line of existing talents to come through the famous Cobham academy site. He spent last season on loan at Roberto De Zerbi’s Brighton and helped the Seagulls to qualify for Europe for the first time in the club’s history.
Colwill is yet to make a first-team appearance for Chelsea but has excited fans in his two loan spells away from the club.
Brighton have since had a bid of around £30 million for the defender rejected by Chelsea. It is understood Mauricio Pochettino is keen to have a look at the player but with the likes of Thiago Silva, Benoit Badiashile, Trevoh Chalobah and Kalidou Koulibaly already at the club, the competition will be stiff.
Gareth Southgate will likely have called the young defender into training with a view to a first-team call up in the near future.
