Everton: Lampard eager to sign Levi Colwill on loan
Everton boss Frank Lampard is eager to use his connections at Chelsea to secure the loan signing of defender Levi Colwill, reports the Daily Mail.
The Lowdown: Colwill’s season in the Championship
The 19-year-old joined Championship side Huddersfield on a season-long loan at the beginning of the campaign.
Since then, the England U21 international has made a fantastic start to life in men’s first-team football, having made 29 appearances in the English second-tier this season.
The youngster has been integral in Huddersfield’s push for promotion, illustrated by the 1.7 tackles and 4.3 clearances he averages per league game (via WhoScored).
The Latest: Lampard wants Colwill
As per the Daily Mail, Lampard and Everton are plotting a loan swoop for the Chelsea man this summer, after seeing him excel in the Championship.
According to reports, Toffees officials have been pictured watching Colwill several times this season and have been thoroughly impressed with what they’ve witnessed.
Chelsea may need the centre-half back this summer if a potential exodus comes to fruition at the west London club, but Lampard is ready to strike otherwise.
The Verdict: Great potential
With Everton narrowly avoiding relegation, Lampard will now be able to offer first-hand Premier League experience to Colwill, who will be looking to make the step up from the Championship.
Dubbed the ‘new John Terry’ for an array of his displays for Huddersfield, Colwill clearly has fantastic potential which has yet to be explored in the top-flight.
Therefore, this could be a great addition to Lampard’s side, especially if they can retain the youngster beyond the initial loan’s expiry.
