‘Swansea or a Fulham,’ ‘Hull City should be all over this’ – Where next for Chelsea player after Fabrizio Romano news? The verdict | OneFootball

It’s going to be a very interest summer for Chelsea’s Levi Colwill.

The 18-year-old defender is preparing for a bright career in the game after impressing for the Blues and for England at youth level.

Next season looks set to be pivotal for the centre-back with Fabrizio Romano revealing that the player looks set to be loaned out to a club in the Championship in order to build up his senior-level experience.

Given that he’s valued ‘extremely highly’ by Chelsea’s hierarchy it seems that a permanent move is out of the question, particularly with the player set to be handed a new four-year contract at the club.

So with a loan move on the cards, where could you see Colwill thriving next term?

The team at FLW have their say…

Chris Thorpe

I think a move to a Swansea or a Fulham would be best for him, as these are sides that play a similar brand of football to Chelsea.

You also have to take into account that both of these clubs have previously taken players on loan from the Blues, which is sure to stand them in good stead.

He needs to go to a Championship side where he will play regularly and I think there would be room for him at either the Liberty Stadium or Craven Cottage.

Fulham is just down the road from Stamford Bridge, so I think it would be a very logical move for him to make.

Marc Guehi’s spell at Swansea also went very well, so that could come into Chelsea’s thinking when they decide where Colwill will end up.

Adam Jones

After losing Reece Burke to Luton, Hull City should be all over this potential loan deal. Grant McCann may only have a limited budget to work with at the KCOM Stadium this summer amid ownership uncertainty and this could be a cheap deal to do, with Chelsea eager to see the centre-back out play regular first-team football.
