Levi Colwill, the young Chelsea defender, is determined to secure regular playing time next season for his development. After helping England win the European Under-21 Championship for the first time in nearly 40 years, Colwill has attracted interest from top clubs such as Liverpool, Manchester City, and Brighton. However, Chelsea has no intention of selling the highly-rated centre-back and rejected Brighton’s opening bid of £30m.
The new Chelsea boss, Mauricio Pochettino, has expressed his desire to speak to Colwill before deciding his future. But Colwill has made it clear that he intends to play regularly next season. He believes that the England U21 team’s success is a result of their collective effort rather than individual talent. Colwill is eager to continue his progress and hopes to be called up to Gareth Southgate’s senior squad. However, he remains grateful for any opportunity to represent England at any age group.
Colwill, who joined Chelsea at the age of eight, is yet to make his debut for the club. But he appears ready to be incorporated into Pochettino’s first-team squad at Stamford Bridge. During his first press conference as Chelsea manager, Pochettino expressed his interest in getting to know Colwill better and understanding his expectations. He also emphasized the importance of Colwill understanding his own expectations as well.
Chelsea had a disappointing season, finishing 12th in the Premier League. However, with the arrival of Pochettino, who previously managed Tottenham, Paris Saint-Germain, and Southampton, the club hopes to challenge for a top-four finish in the upcoming season.
