The Italian journalist has claimed on Twitter that Colwill will now sign a new contract with Chelsea.

Levi Colwill could flourish under Mauricio Pochettino at Chelsea
In our opinion, Chelsea defender Levi Colwill could flourish under head coach Mauricio Pochettino.
If Pochettino personally has told the defender to stay, then it indicates that the former Tottenham Hotspur head coach has a plan for him.
Colwill could become a regular in the Chelsea first team in the coming weeks and months.
Pochettino will have watched the defender’s performances for Brighton and Hove Albion.
And the Argentine boss will have been impressed.
It is now up to Colwill to step up his game and show what he is capable of.
When Colwill gets his chance at Chelsea, he simply has to take it and do his best.
Chelsea were truly terrible last season.
Pochettino will be determined to do better this time around.
Chelsea’s main objective next season will be to finish in the top four of the Premier League table.
