Levi Colwill names Adam Lallana as the player to have the biggest impact on his career
Chelsea defender Levi Colwill provided a surprising answer when asked which player has had the biggest impact on his career so far. The 20-year-old centre-back has established himself in the Chelsea first team this season after an impressive loan at Brighton last term, and has been called up to the England senior team for the second time as he looks to earn his first cap under Gareth Southgate.
When asked which player has had the biggest impact on his career, Colwill named a former Liverpool midfielder who now plays for Brighton. ‘I’m going to say Adam Lallana,’ Colwill said. ‘Me, I’m a chilled person and sometimes I need someone to give me a push. At first, I didn’t really understand why he was always on to me and trying to help me, but once it clicked in my head I realised he was only trying to help. I don’t think I ever realised how happy and lucky I was to play with him (at Brighton). He has definitely helped me a load. Every day in training.
Colwill also credited Lallana for convincing him to stay at Chelsea this summer after Brighton pushed strongly to sign him in a permanent deal. ‘I had conversations with Adam,’ Colwill added. ‘He told me about how much of a good guy he (Pochettino) was and he thinks he is a really good manager and I took that on board when I was making my decision. When I finally met him (Pochettino), I realised everything Adam said was true.’
