Chelsea now realizes they have their very own Rolls-Royce ready to take them forward in the upcoming season thanks to Arsenal.
Levi Colwill has been referred to by Harry Redknapp as a "Rolls-Royce defender" in the wake of Brighton's convincing victory over Arsenal. The Seagulls' triumph at the Emirates Stadium, which saw them advance to the Europa League, was greatly aided by the 20-year-old defender.
It will be "difficult" for any team to snare the England youth international from the Blues, according to Redknapp, who was quite complimentary of the player. In an interview with BetVictor, the former Tottenham manager said: "I enjoyed what I saw from young Levi Colwill against Arsenal.
He has a lot of potential and is what I would call a Rolls-Royce of a defender. With the ball at his feet, he is swift, strong, and incredibly composed. He also has a great foot.
He has a lot of potential and is what I would call a Rolls-Royce of a defender. With the ball at his feet, he is swift, strong, and incredibly composed. He also has a great foot.
He is undoubtedly on loan from Chelsea, and Brighton would dearly love to sign him permanently.
It is challenging to locate another left center-back of his caliber. He's a decent man, and I see a lot of progress in him. He has made great progress this year. Hope he can remain here with us.
In recent years, Colwill is not the only player to have been called a "Rolls-Royce defender." Three years ago, when discussing who the best center-half in the world is, Paul Merson used the phrase to describe Virgil van Dijk in a Sky Sports interview.
The Arsenal icon was quoted as saying, "It's a hard one," by the Liverpool Echo. "Ramos has been around a long time; he's scored more goals in his career than some center forwards have."
"I believe that because of Van Dijk's notoriety, people are afraid of him. Oh my god, it's Virgil van Dijk, I can't get past him, many think as they square up to him.
"I believe that is the issue; he receives good cover. A Rolls Royce, he is. Is he the world's best? I'll have to check out his opponents when the World Cup rolls around.
Arsenal have undoubtedly made Chelsea aware that they have their very own "Rolls-Royce" in their garage ready to be put into gear, even though Colwill is still some way from replicating Van Dijk's achievement.
In light of the Lionel Messi-Barcelona issue, Chelsea sent a clear Frenkie de Jong transfer message.
