Chelsea defender Levi Colwill has revealed that an ex-Brighton teammate of his and former Liverpool star convinced him to sign a new contract and remain at Stamford Bridge under Mauricio Pochettino.
The 20-year-old signed a six-year deal at Chelsea this summer, putting the end to speculation surrounding his future.
Colwill enjoyed a successful loan spell at Brighton & Hove Albion last season, and he revealed that it was during this time that a teammate of his convinced him to remain at Chelsea.
The defender admitted that his teammate became an influential figure on him during his time at the AmEx and gave him advice on his future.
