Pochettino was the key to Colwill’s stay
Despite Chelsea’s contract renewal, Levi Colwill breaks the quiet with a message for Brighton. The 20-year-old’s contract extension was, however, being put on hold as he pressed Pochettino for guarantees over his first-team status.

The Athletic reports that Colwill and Chelsea have reached a new six-year agreement. According to the story, nothing has been officially inked yet, but the legal framework is in place for Colwill to sign a contract keeping him at Stamford Bridge till at least 2029. According to us, Colwill’s choice to extend his stay at Stamford Bridge was heavily influenced by Pochettino.
The player confirmed his stay with an Instagram post
Colwill seems to confirm that he will now remain at Chelsea for the foreseeable future with his Instagram post to Brighton, although an official confirmation is probably still a ways off. The text accompanying the photo of Colwill celebrating a Brighton goal with his former teammates reads, “I am delighted to have contributed in any small way to the club’s success last season.”
He expressed gratitude to Brighton for providing him with the chance to play in the Premier League when no one else did. He expressed gratitude to every one of the staff at the stadium and training facility for making it a terrific place to work and grow, as well as to Graham Potter for introducing him to the club in the first place.
Moreover, he also expressed his gratitude to the audience for their unwavering support, which allowed him to play the way he wanted to without worrying about making mistakes. He said he would always be grateful to Brighton for giving him the chance to succeed and display his skills in the top league in the world. Finally, he expressed his gratitude to Roberto De Zerbi for challenging him daily and altering his perspective on football.
Due to injuries in the defence, LC. Colwill is most likely to start for the Blues when they play Liverpool at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, August 13.
