“I think he’s going to be one of the most important centre-backs for this country in the future." This is extremely high praise for such a young player but considering he is now starting at centre-back in one of the Premier League's most in-form sides, it is hard to see how Colwill won't be featuring for the Three Lions in the near future, with reports suggesting that he is already close to his first call-up to Gareth Southgate's side. Colwill is very much a modern centre-back in the mould of Stones, as FBref suggests that he excels at passing, aerial duels and creating chances for teammates, such is his ability on the ball. Stones also established himself in the lower leagues with Barnsley before progressing to Everton and then Manchester City, so Colwill could easily follow in his footsteps should he make the move to the Etihad this year. It will be difficult to prise the teenager away from Stamford Bridge but given the lack of opportunities for young players at Chelsea, as well as the money that has been spent on centre-backs such as Kalidou Koulibaly, Wesley Fofana and Benoit Badiashile over the past 12 months, Colwill may feel that a move away could be best for his career. If City do take a chance on another young English centre-back, there seems little evidence right now to suggest that he can't become a top Premier League defender like Stones in the future.
