Levi Colwill is not keen to leave Chelsea immediately, according to a report from this site’s Simon Phillips.
He writes that the defender has not yet made up his mind about leaving for first team football in the way that Armando Broja seems to have done.
Levi Colwill is not pushing for a move away from Chelsea right now.
Levi’s desire is to stay at Chelsea, and he is not demanding to be an automatic regular starter, he is asking for a fair shot to get minutes.

We’re desperately keen for the defender to get a chance in the team this season, and we think he’ll get a chance even if we sign a second senior centre back. Malang Sarr made over 20 appearances last season – that would be a good return for Colwill.
For all his successes, a lot of faith in Thomas Tuchel is going to be shaken if he lets the 19 year old defender go without a fight. He should be using these friendlies to show how important a role the defender can play in Chelsea’s squad this season.
We don’t want average new players bought for big money.
