Thomas Tuchel can copy Frank Lampard trick to unlock 'next John Terry' amid £200m Chelsea plan

Thomas Tuchel should look to take a leaf out of Frank Lampard's book when deciding the future of Levi Colwill. With Chelsea set to undergo an exodus of defenders this summer, with Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen departing once their contracts expire, it's expected that the 19-year-old will be integrated into the first-team upon his return from loan at Huddersfield town, according to Goal.

The Cobham graduate has featured 31 times for the Terries, steering Carlos Corberan's side towards promotion into the Premier League. Colwill's imperious performances this season booked the Yorkshire-based side a place at in the play-off final against Nottingham Forest, but fell at the last hurdle.

An unfortunate first-half mistake from the on-loan Chelsea defender handed Steve Cooper's side the first and only goal of the tie. But, despite Colwill's misfortune, Goal add that the west Londoners are said to be 'so impressed' with the his development and will play a major role in shaping Tuchel's summer transfer plans.
