Chelsea’s youngster has been rewarded for his recent form by being named in an Under-21 Team of the Month for September.

There’s some serious young talent when you look around the current first-team squad at Chelsea.

They’ve signed some of the best youngsters from across the world in recent transfer windows. On top of that, the Blues academy continues to produce future stars for the senior squad year on year.

Mail Online recently claimed that Chelsea youngsters are beginning to lose trust that they could breakthrough at Stamford Bridge. However, the rising stars should take a look at the current squad to see that the pathway still very much exists.

Levi Colwill in Team of the Month

Chelsea’s Levi Colwill, who’s still only aged 21, is going from strength to strength this season as a key player.

Sofascore Football has shared via X it’s U21 Team of the Month for September from across Europe’s top five divisions.

With a 7.00 rating, Colwill has been named in September’s Team of the Month. Him and Brighton’s Carlos Baleba are the only Premier League representatives.

Levi Colwill the first name in Chelsea’s defence

We’d put Colwill as the number one starter in Chelsea’s backline right now.

The left-footed centre-back has played every minute of the league season so far and looks really confident in Enzo Maresca’s system.

While the England international did a job at times last season covering at left-back, he’s definitely an out-and-out central defender with a big future ahead of him in the heart of defence.

Speaking recently via Chelsea’s official website, Colwill credited Maresca for his recent form on the pitch. We’re not surprised to see the 21-year-old thriving this year because he’s a ball-playing central defender that can build from the back exactly like the manager demands.

Chelsea boss Maresca has described Colwill as a “fantastic profile”, as relayed by Chelsea’s YouTube channel.

He’s been included again in England’s senior squad on Tuesday for the upcoming October international break. His next aim should be to force his way into the Three Lions XI.
