Levi Colwill could finally launch his Chelsea career thanks to England callup | OneFootball

The news, as reported in places like The Sun today, that Gareth Southgate is considering Levi Colwill for his next Chelsea squad won’t surprise any Chelsea fans.

We’ve all seen him play, and we’ve just been waiting for him to get his chance.

But it’s thrilling nevertheless, and Colwill could benefit more than most from making his senior debut now.

Usually players are well established by the time they get into the England team, but Colwill is on loan at Brighton, where he’s only broken into the first team in the last couple of months.

Playing for England before that loan is up will make him unavoidable for Graham Potter and the new transfer team at Chelsea, who will surely have to give him a first team chance next season.

Then finally the rest of the world can catch up with what Chelsea fans who have been watching him have said for years.
