‘My dream’: Rio Ferdinand says he would love Man United to go and sign 20-year-old youngster from Chelsea
Rio Ferdinand claims that Manchester United's dream signing in defense would be Chelsea's Levi Colwill.
Levi Colwill, who has spent the last week with England’s senior side, is a highly rated-defender.
The Blues academy at Cobham produced the 20-year-old center-back, but he’s profited greatly from loan periods in the last two years. His experience at Brighton in the Premier League last season, in particular, was crucial to his growth.
Colwill will now return to Stamford Bridge for pre-season this summer.
According to journalist Simon Phillips’ Substack, incoming Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino believes Colwill has a bright future at Stamford Bridge.
Colwill’s star is rising as he prepares to compete in the Under-21 European Championship with his England colleagues.
He’s a left-footed center-back who checks all the boxes for a modern-day defender, which is why many predict a long and successful career for him. Hopefully, he can live up to his full potential in Chelsea colors.
Pochettino, we believe, should put Colwill in the Blues’ first-team squad for the 2023/24 season.
We believe he is the next superstar to come from the Chelsea Academy, which has produced so many jewels over the last two decades.
