Colwill transfer hint

On Chelsea's official website, Colwill has now been included in the first-team men's squad section of the. His personalised profile also hints at where Pochettino plans to play him next season, which reads: "An England youth international who plays mostly at centre-back, he can also slot in on the left as a full-back or wing-back, and enjoys stepping forward as a ball-playing defender."
