Thomas Tuchel dealt transfer decision as Southampton plot bid for Chelsea's 'next John Terry'

Chelsea are under growing pressure to decide the future of Levi Colwill, with several Premier League clubs circling the defender's situation. The 19-year-old has been heavily linked with an exit, with the centre-half reportedly expected to depart west London this summer.

Colwill, whose contract at Stamford Bridge expires in 2025, featured 29 times for Huddersfield Town in the Championship this season, steering Carlos Corberán's side towards promotion into the Premier League. The Cobham graduate's impressive performances booked the Terriers a place in the play-off final against Nottingham Forest - though, unfortunately for the defender, Huddersfield fell at the final hurdle.

Despite Colwill's misfortune at Wembley, Chelsea are said to be 'so impressed' with the youngster's development, and he'll likely play a major part in shaping Tuchel's summer transfer plans, according to Goal. Even more so now that Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen have left the Blues, leaving the club with diminutive options at the back.
