Enzo Maresca has tipped defender Levi Colwill to become a future Chelsea captain and also revealed that fellow centre-back Tosin Adarabioyo has emerged as the most vocal in the dressing room. The Blues have slumped to an alarming low during the festive period, picking up only one point from their last three Premier League games.
Colwill is a product of Chelsea’s youth academy, while Adarabioyo moved to Stamford Bridge from London rivals Fulham in the summer of 2024. The duo have combined at the heart of the Blues' defense in the last four games.
Despite being a part of Chelsea's shambolic defense lately, Maresca spoke highly of the two defenders. The Italian manager is delighted with Colwill's leadership quality and said (via Tribal Football):
“I can see the leader day by day since we started in pre-season, something that he can improve in terms of leadership. He is improving a lot. Levi, even if he is not wearing the armband, is one of the captains and in the future, he could be a captain of this club. Since we started, he is improving a lot.”
