Gary Lineker thinks Chelsea youngster Levi Colwill is soon going to be an England international.
Levi Colwill, who’s just 20, earned a first senior England call-up during the current international break.
The left-footed defender is enjoying quite an incredible rise in the past 12 months, breaking into Chelsea’s first team after a successful spell out on loan at Brighton last year.

So, will Gareth Southgate decide to give him his first senior England cap on Tuesday night? He’s now in the Three Lions squad and preparing for tomorrow’s friendly match against Scotland.
Lineker has pinpointed Chelsea’s academy graduate as someone that can play for England.
“We have Colwill who looks like he will hopefully fill a bit of a void for England,” Lineker told The Rest Is Football podcast.
John Stones and Harry Maguire are certainly in possession of England’s starting centre-back roles right now ahead of next summer’s European Championships, albeit there’s got to be question marks about the latter when he can barely get a kick at club level.
Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi impressed at the weekend with an England appearance in the 1-1 win against Ukraine.
It would be great to see Colwill force his way up the England pecking order at centre-half!
Described as “composed” by Declan Rice (England’s TikTok account), Colwill can bring a lot to the Three Lions line-up.
