Chilwell has noted that the 20-year-old is very composed on the ball, just like Brazilian defender Thiago Silva is.

Colwill has been called up to the England senior squad for the first time.
The youngster could feature in the Euro 2024 Qualifying Group C match between Ukraine and England on Saturday.
Chilwell said about Colwill: “Everyone can see how composed he is on the ball, which Thiago Silva has always had that, kind of calms everyone around.
“At such a young age to have that composure and that energy is the biggest compliment that I can give him.
“I know how eager he is to do well for Chelsea and to do well for England, so a very exciting future for him.”

And under the Argentine, Colwill could get better and add facets to his game.
The 20-year-old has played four times in the Premier League for Chelsea so far this season.
Colwill has made 21 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.
