Following a very successful loan spell, Brighton are looking to secure Levi Colwill on a permanent deal.
The defender made 27 league appearances as he helped the Seagulls qualify for Europe for the first time in their history.
Now, Roberto De Zerbi is keen to once again bring him to the south coast.

Brighton are going to offer £40 million for Levi Colwill, according to the Evening Standard.
The Seagulls have already seen Chelsea reject an offer from them worth £30 million.
The west London club are keen to keep hold of the 20-year-old despite being well-stocked in defence.
Benoit Badiashile will also miss the start of the season and it would be far from ideal for och to lose another left-sided defender.
However, the Blues’ need to balance the books may see that stance relax, as they need to offload players.
Kalidou Koulibaly and Trevoh Chalobah are two other centre-backs Chelsea could look to sell.
