Chelsea will have buyback clause in Levi Colwill deal which takes defender to Brighton

Two separate deals involving Chelsea and Brighton are getting close to completion.

While Marc Cucurella is coming to London from the South Coast, Levi Colwill is leaving behind Surrey for Brighton.

The deal to bring Cucurella to Chelsea has been established for a while now, while the Colwill arrangement is only now becoming clear.

Fabrizio Romano has today claimed that the deal to take the the talented defender to Brighton will include a buy back deal that Chelsea can activate.

The details of that are still being hammered out – often they can only be used after a certain period has passed, and Brighton are likely to demand a big fee to guarantee themselves a healthy profit even if Chelsea redeem him.

But no matter the terms, Chelsea fans will be relieved. This just gives them the security they want to know that if he gets as good as he looks he’s going to get, we can get him back.
