Rio Ferdinand has heaped praise on Fikayo Tomori for his meteoric rise to superstardom since leaving Chelsea for AC Milan, suggesting exactly why Levi Colwill should be central to the club's future. The 25-year-old swapped Stamford Bridge for the San Siro in January 2021 before making his move permanent a few months later for just £25million.
Despite having shown tremendous potential, Frank Lampard starved the defender of valuable game time. The Blues have since been left to rue the decision to let Tomori go, with the England international becoming one of Europe's top talents.
Colwill, who is tipped to be just as good as Tomori one day, will return to Cobham from his loan at Brighton in the summer. And, while the obvious decision is to usher the youngster into Chelsea starting lineup, doubt has been cast over his future in west London.
