Levi Colwill has been handed a huge chance to impress Mauricio Pochettino ahead of his return to Chelsea this summer. The 20-year-old defender has been heavily linked with an exit from Stamford Bridge this summer following his impressive performances while on loan at Brighton.
Colwill, who sees his contract at Cobham expire in 2025, featured 17 times for the Seagulls in the Premier League last season, helping Roberto De Zerbi's side keep five clean sheets. The youngster international helped Brighton claim a Europa League qualification spot ahead of Tottenham and, his parent club, Chelsea.
football.london understands that the Blues have been very impressed with Colwill's progress and he's expected to be a key player under Pochettino – and, is, therefore, not for sale. However, it could be difficult for the west Londoners to hold onto Colwill after De Zerbi publicly revealed his intent to re-sign him last month.
