Chelsea's John Terry heir handed perfect Wembley audition for Thomas Tuchel after selection call

Chelsea loanee Levi Colwill has been named in Huddersfield Town's starting lineup for Sunday's Championship Play-Off Final against Nottingham Forest at Wembley.

The 18-year-old defender has been on loan with the Yorkshire club this season under Carlos Corberan and has become an instant standout in England's second-tier after thriving in the Blues academy.

Huddersfield has the chance to return to the top flight for the first time since their relegation in 2019 with Colwill's Chelsea future yet to be decided under Thomas Tuchel as the Blues' defensive reshuffle commences in the transfer window.

Colwill has previously been compared to both Chelsea icon John Terry and Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand before making his Premier League debut. There are reports of interest in the youngster from Premier League clubs despite Colwill committing to a new contract last summer with Chelsea till 2025.

Supporters are already concerned we could see a repeat of last summer's youth exodus when Marc Guehi, then on loan at Swansea, played in the Championship play-off final before being sold to Crystal Palace in July 2021.
