There is good news from the English football world and it can be said to be a new hope, that is, "Levi Colwill & Chelsea, a new chapter with a new contract". Of course, this makes clubs that are interested in Levi Colwill have to bite the bullet. Because Colwill has just signed a new contract at Chelsea until 2029.

It turns out that Colwill is a target of Liverpool and Brighton this summer, following his steady performance when leading England to Euro Under-21 glory.
Levi Colwill becomes Chelsea's mainstay player
He kept England's backline solid and clean throughout the tournament. Colwill spent last season on loan at Brighton.
Colwill made 17 appearances in the Premier League so the Seagulls intend to make him permanent. Meanwhile, Liverpool needs a left-handed defender figure for future investment.
Unfortunately, Chelsea has always closed the door tightly for both clubs by insisting Colwill will not be sold. To show his seriousness, Chelsea then rewarded Colwill with a new contract.

The Chelsea academy player will play at the club for a further six years, with the option of a one-year extension. Colwill also received a salary increase from the previous around 19 thousand pounds per week.
"It's always been an easy decision for me. Because I grew up with Chelsea. I spoke to manager Mauricio Pochettino and he gave me the assurance and confidence I needed," Colwill told the club's official website.
"He spoke to me not only as a player but also personally. That's where the big difference is."
Levi Colwill has never debuted for the Chelsea senior team because he is always on loan. With Wesley Fofana's long injury and Thiago Silva starting, Colwill has the chance to start in his first season.
"Everyone at the club is looking forward to incredible action at Bridger's Stamford next season," Chelsea sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley said.
