John Terry has raved about Chelsea central defender Levi Colwill and has also spoken highly of Reece James.

Praise for Chelsea defender Levi Colwill

Terry has also said that he loves Reece James.

The former England international central defender believes that James needs to stay fit for Chelsea fans to see the best of him.

James, 23, is one of the best right-backs around.

The problem with the England international defender is that he has had injury problems.

Levi Colwill a gem

We believe that Levi Colwill has huge potential and could be a star for Chelsea and for England for years to come.

The 20-year-old has been called up to the England squad for their upcoming international matches.

That is massive for a player who is only 20 and is just starting his career.

Colwill spent last season on loan at Brighton and Hove Albion from Chelsea.

And he was very impressed.

The defender has already established himself as a key figure in the Chelsea back-line now and is playing regularly under manager Mauricio Pochettino.

The 20-year-old has played four times in the Premier League for the Blues this season.

Colwill has made 21 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.

The defender has given two assists and kept four clean sheets in those games.
