Levi Colwill gives Graham Potter verdict as 'next John Terry' drops Chelsea transfer hint

Levi Colwill has admitted that he "can understand" why Chelsea moved to appointed Graham Potter to replace Thomas Tuchel. The young defender, who won man of the match for England Under-21s in their win over Germany, has hailed his former boss - who he only worked with for a matter of days.

On the summer transfer deadline day, the 19-year-old joined Brighton and Hove Albion from the Blues on a season-long loan as he sought greater first-team opportunities. Colwill was one of Potter's final signings, but the former Seagulls boss left soon after.

The England youth international, whose contract at Stamford Bridge expires in 2025, featured just three times for Brighton during Potter's tenure at the Amex Stadium; two of which were cameos off the bench in the Premier League and the other was against League One outfit Forest Green Rovers in the Carabao Cup.
