Leicester City are interested in taking over Levi Colwill’s loan for the rest of the season, according to a surprising revelation from David Ornstein in his transfer rumour column for the Athletic.
He explains that Chelsea are going to keep their brilliant teenage defender at Huddersfield, where he is playing every week, rather than letting him move to be a backup at a higher level.
It shows the incredible progress the 18 year old has made in a year. From Chelsea’s youth team he stepped straight into the Championship this season, where he’s done so well that he’s getting interest from the top flight already.
Leicester are short at the back thanks to injury, and we’re sure Levi would get some games, but as it stands he’s much better off getting another 20 games in the Championship, and the club has made the right choice.
His chances of being a squad member for Chelsea next year are looking better than ever.
