Levi Colwill has slotted seamlessly into Chelsea’s backline after starting both of our opening two Premier League games of the campaign.

The step up that comes with representing Chelsea has not fazed Colwill.

“I don’t really feel the pressure. There have been a lot of players that have been labelled with all sorts, and they might have not lived up to it, or there might be players that haven’t been labelled anything and have gone on to be the best,” Levi told Chelsea’s official website.

“It’s all social media talk. It doesn’t bother me, it doesn’t get to me. I’m the only person who can dictate that. I’m the person who has to push myself every day and hopefully become the best I can.”

Levi previously spent time on loan at Huddersfield Town in the Championship and Brighton in the Premier League.

“I learned a lot on loan. Going to Huddersfield, I learned the difference of being a professional and working hard every day. In the Academy, you come in and kind of take it for granted. Going into a men’s environment it’s a lot more serious. You come in to work, improve and win. That’s the most important thing,” he added.

“Brighton was my first taste of the Premier League. The expectations were so high every day. De Zerbi pushed me every day.

“You can’t come into training and cheat yourself because you’re the only person that’s not going to learn anything. I’ve taken that on board and every day when I am here every day I am pushing myself.”
