Chelsea's 'next John Terry' eyed by Premier League side despite specialised Thomas Tuchel plan

Bournemouth manager Scott Parker is targeting a loan move for Chelsea centre-half Levi Colwill as his first signing of the summer transfer window, according to the MailOnline. The Cherries' interest in the 19-year-old follows their return to the Premier League.

The England youth international, who's been likened to John Terry, has impressed on loan at Huddersfield Town this season, establishing himself as one of the best defenders in the Championship. He's featured 29 times for the Harriers and his impressive displays have bought his side a ticket to Wembley for a shot at promotion into the top-flight.

Colwill has predominantly operated on the left of a back-three at the John Smith's Stadium, enjoying much of his success threading passes through into his midfielders, winning aerial duels and defending with wisdom beyond his years. The Cobham graduate's performances have already earned the attention of Leicester City, according to The Athletic, but now Bournemouth have joined the race too.
