Chelsea defender Levi Colwill says he’s yet to reach the level that he wanted as a defender.
The 22-year-old came up through the youth ranks at Chelsea hearing stories of John Terry, Frank Lampard, and Didier Drogba winning titles.
He is already regarded as one of the leaders at Stamford Bridge by manager Enzo Maresca and his peers in the dressing room.
Despite being a regular starter for Chelsea, Colwill in a chat with TribalFootball said that he struggled in the 2024-25 season.
“I am nowhere near where I would like to be. Defending one-v-one has been tough, but I think I’ve proved that I’m getting a bit better.

“I’m good at times when I’m trying to make passes and there are other times where I’ve been a bit lazy.
“We all know how big this club is and how the culture of the club has always been to win. We’re just trying to reinforce that to the young boys, to the boys coming in, that this club is for winners only. That’s what we need to strive towards.”
Colwill also revealed he has struggled when on England duty but has followed the advice of a staff member to read the book Atomic Habits by James Clear to help him cope with different environments.
“Of course it is going to be a huge season for me,” he said. “Chelsea are back in the Champions League, we’ve got the Premier League where we want to push on and do better than we did this season.
“Looking at the end of the season with the World Cup, it will be a big aim to be there.”
