‘His journey from academy to first team is testament to his talent, dedication, and determination. Everyone at the club is now looking forward to watching him thrive at Stamford Bridge in the seasons ahead.’
And after seeing the deal get announced – Gary Cahil opened up and claimed that Colwill has great potential.
He says: ‘Playing for CHELSEA – throughout my time at the club – as a centre-back you are expected to be comfortable building from the back. There was never a coach who told the goalkeeper to hit it long every two minutes.
‘There’s more to it, of course. You look at attributes you want in a centre-back and ask: Is he tall and good in the air? Does he have good presence? Is he quick? Does he take up good positions to receive the ball? Is he composed on the ball?
‘Levi Colwill has those attributes – now he must keep learning and progressing.
