The Story in 60 Seconds

Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola could miss out on signing Chelsea defender Levi Colwill as the London club prepares to offer him a contract extension, according to a report from TEAMtalk. The writer views the 23-year-old English centre-back as a strong long-term successor to Virgil van Dijk.

Liverpool also faces squad registration constraints, which makes signing homegrown players crucial, as foreign player limits have previously left players like Wataru Endo and Federico Chiesa out of European competition squads.
