Former Chelsea captain Gary Cahill has given his analysis on the current Chelsea team.

Cahill, who won two Premier Leagues, two FA Cups and a Champions League during his seven years at Stamford Bridge, has named the Chelsea players he loves to watch, and the players who are improving and forming good partnerships.

Cahill says he loves to watch Levi Colwill, and believes the young defender will be a class act for Chelsea.

Cahill has hailed Conor Gallagher as one of the team’s best players, and believes the midfield partnership of Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo, is ‘getting stronger’.

“I’ve enjoyed watching Levi [Colwill], who is developing all the time. He has got bags and bags of potential,” Cahill told the Evening Standard.

“I like [Conor] Gallagher, who I think is one of the best players at the moment. I like the way he goes about his game, his pressing, his professionalism, and him just being a great footballer.

“I believe his attributes can rub off on the rest of the squad. That would be great.

“I think Enzo [Fernandez] and [Moises] Caicedo’s midfield partnership is coming on and getting stronger.

“Cole Palmer is having a fantastic season and is a shining light. I think [Axel] Disasi and [Malo] Gusto have adapted to Chelsea.”

Chelsea lost the Carabao Cup final to Liverpool, and are now in the FA Cup semi-finals where they take on Manchester City in April.

The two-time FA Cup winner, has stated the importance of the FA Cup.

“The cups have been important,” Cahill added.

“The FA Cup is another chance to have that day out, to develop while trying to win a trophy here and there. This young squad needs to develop before seeing where they can get to.”
