Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand believes Chelsea youngster Levi Colwill is already better than Wesley Fofana and Benoit Badiashile, insisting Erik ten Hag's side have no chance of signing him. Colwill has enjoyed an impressive loan spell with Brighton this season and was praised for his recent performance in the 3-0 win against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
Chelsea opted to loan the young defender out last summer before signing Wesley Fofana, Kalidou Koulibaly and Benoit Badiashile in the last 12 months. The 20-year-old talent has helped the Seagulls keep five clean sheets in 21 appearances this term and is set to return to Stamford Bridge this summer.
Mauricio Pochettino is said to be 'excited' about the prospect of working with Colwill and is planning to rebuild his Chelsea team around the youngster - along with Badiashile, Reece James, Ben Chilwell and N'Golo Kante. The Blues will be hoping that, after a brilliant season with Brighton, Colwill snubs interest from Manchester City and Liverpool this summer to remain at Stamford Bridge and become a regular first-team player.
