Reported from Mirror, Thomas Tuchel ask Chelsea to shop for defenders again. Several names have been included in the list, such as Jules Kunde from Sevilla, Presnel Kimpembe from PSG, and Nathan Ake from Manchester City.

Levi Colwill is only 19 years old and is an academy player Chelsea. Last season, he was loaned to Huddersfield who play in the Championship Division.

Colwill has previously strengthened the Blues age group category team. In the pre-season session, the 1.8 meter tall player was included in the Chelsea squad.

Levi Colwill touted as a formidable England centre-back candidate. Last season he was trusted by Huddersfield to fill the main squad with a record of 29 games and brought Huddersfield to the playoffs.

The problem is, Chelsea have often made blunders by selling their players and then buying them expensive. Romelu Lukaku was an example last season, as was his target for Nathan Ake, who was a former Blues academy.

Chelsea have also sold their two centre-backs, Marc Guehi to Crystal Palace and Fikayo Tomori to AC Milan. Both defenders were included in the list of defenders with the most tackles on European soil last season.
