Chelsea centre-back Levi Colwill is full of admiration for veteran teammate Thiago Silva, labelling him "a joke". The on-loan Brighton defender has also spoken in glowing terms of Blues boss Graham Potter, despite not having spoken to him since moving to Stamford Bridge.
While his temporary deal at Brighton has been blighted with injury issues, the 20-year-old has put in a selection of impressively mature displays when given the opportunity. The Seagulls have won six of the eight Premier League games he has featured in, and could reward him with a string of matches to end this season as the south-coast outfit continue to push for a spot in next season's European competitions.
Having sustained a quad injury, Colwill missed six weeks of the campaign, but returned in an exemplary manner in the 1-0 win against Crystal Palace, before joining up with the England Under-21 camp for the latest international break. In Colwill's absence, Chelsea have spent big to upgrade their centre-backs, signing Wesley Fofana, Kalidou Koulibaly and Benoit Badiashile in the past two transfer windows, perhaps limiting his pathway to the first-team in the process.
