Colwill set to sign new Chelsea contract until 2025 as Blues line up Championship loan

The young defender will sign a new four-year deal and has a temporary switch agreed to head to a club in England's second tier

Chelsea youngster Levi Colwill is set to sign a new four-year contract and head out on a loan deal to the Championship for the 2021-22 campaign.

The 18-year-old spent the end of last season training with Thomas Tuchel's first team as an emergency back-up for Andreas Christensen, who was injured towards the end of the campaign.

It is understood that he was convinced to sign a contract based on an exciting pathway being offered at Stamford Bridge that will see him eventually come into contention for a first-team place.
