Confirmed: Talented young star who can play in three different positions signs new Chelsea deal

Through their official website, Premier League giants Chelsea have announced that versatile defender Levi Colwill has committed his future to the club.

A European U21 champion with England this summer, Colwill plays mostly at centre-back and can also be deployed at wingback and left-back. 

The Southampton-born player has been registered with Chelsea since the U9 age group, rising through the youth team ranks to sign his first professional contract in February 2020.

He enjoyed a loan spell at Huddersfield Town in the 2021-2022 campaign and spent the whole of last season at Brighton & Hove, totaling 54 appearances for both clubs.  

Colwill helped Chelsea to win the Premier League Summer Series, featuring in matches against Brighton and Fulham.
