We’re absolutely delighted to have Levi Colwill back after the central defender missed almost the whole season injured.

He’s back from his ACL tear and has now started two games, with a third to come on Sunday. He’s done so well that he’s already being talked about as a potential England call up for the World Cup – and has been put into transfer rumours too.

A piece in Marca today gushes about the “modern” central defender as the sort that teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona are looking for. They compare him with Ibrahima Konate and Alessandro Bastoni, defenders heavily linked with Madrid and Barca respectively.

Chelsea aren’t going to let Colwill go anywhere, we can be pretty sure of that. We’d imagine he will be happy to stay put next season and just get a full campaign under his belt. He has yet to sign a new contract – but that should be announced this summer, and we can all relax a little.

In other news…

Matt Law has backed Chelsea to sign a midfielder this summer, given Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez will be at the World Cup.

Enzo Maresca is going to try and bring some of his Chelsea favourites to Man City when he takes over from Pep Guardiola this summer, according to some reports.
