Martin Keown has raved about Chelsea central defender Levi Colwill.
The Arsenal legend has written in The Daily Mail that Chelsea central defender Levi Colwill is a gem.
The talkSPORT pundit has noted that Colwill is a very exciting defender who has everything in his locker.
Keown made the comments about the 20-year-old centre-back while looking ahead to the Euro 2024 Qualifying Group C match between Ukraine and England on Saturday.
Martin Keown praise for Chelsea defender Levi Colwill
Colwill has been called up to the England senior squad for the first time.
The England Under-21 international centre-back has been playing well for Chelsea this season.
The 20-year-old has played four times in the Premier League for the Blues.
Keown wrote: “Colwill, the youngest of this quartet at 20, has been fast-tracked into the fold but has got everything in his locker except experience.
“He is the most exciting of the four, though we need to be cautious given he has only made 21 Premier League appearances.”
Levi Colwill could star for Chelsea and England
In our view, Levi Colwill could develop into one of the best centre-backs in the Premier League and could be a star for Chelsea and England for years to come.
That the youngster is already playing regularly for Chelsea shows just how highly he is rated.
And he can only get better.
We know from his time at Tottenham Hotspur just how good Mauricio Pochettino is with young players.
The Chelsea head coach clearly likes Colwill, who did well during his loan spell at Brighton and Hove Albion last season.
Chelsea are aiming to finish in the top four of the Premier League table this season.
