Potential Huddersfield Town transfer boost emerges on defender

Chelsea centre-back Levi Colwill is desperate to thrive at Stamford Bridge in the long term but won’t rule out a return to Huddersfield Town next season, according to the Daily Mail.

The 19-year-old has stood out as one of the second-tier’s most talented young players following his arrival at the John Smith’s Stadium, making 31 appearances in all competitions for the Terriers this term and playing a considerable part in transforming them from relegation battlers to promotion contenders.

His loan side are just 90 minutes away from plying their trade in the Premier League again following a three-year absence, though the England youth international is being tipped to make the step up to the top tier regardless of the outcome of today’s crunch tie against Nottingham Forest.

Everton, Fulham, Leicester and Southampton have all been interested in luring the teenager away from Stamford Bridge as well as sides from across Europe after seeing him excel at the John Smith’s Stadium, according to journalist Nathan Gissing.

Gissing also adds that the Terriers would be interested in bringing him back to West Yorkshire next term if they are promoted, with Colwill unlikely to return if Carlos Corberan’s side remain in the second tier.

However, Thomas Tuchel is reportedly set to give the youngster a chance to shine before making a further decision on his future, although it’s currently unclear whether the Blues’ imminent change in ownership has changed his mind with the Blues able to bring players in again when sanctions are lifted.
