William Gallas had high hopes for Chelsea defender Levi Colwill (Picture: Getty)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

William Gallas<\/a> admits he has been left concerned by the form of Levi Colwill<\/a> who has the potential to be a ‘monster’.<\/p>\n

Chelsea<\/a> have invested heavily in strengthening their defence over the last 18 months but have largely recruited inexperienced centre halves. <\/p>\n

Tosin Adarabioyo<\/a> arrived on a free from Fulham in the summer, but reports claim the 27-year-old is already the subject of significant interest from Brighton.<\/p>\n

The departure of veteran Thiago Silva at the end of last season has left Chelsea without a senior presence at the heart of their backline, leaving Colwill to marshal Enzo Maresca’s rearguard.<\/p>\n

Chelsea have again been linked with a host of new attacking players during the transfer widow, but Gallas believes one of his old clubs would be best served by adding a seasoned defender to their ranks to help Colwill’s development. <\/p>\n

‘Levi Cowell, he’s 21 years old,’ Gallas told \u00a0Prime Casino<\/a>. ‘But it\u2019s a shame that the boy could not play maybe one or two more years with Thiago Silva.<\/p>\n

‘If he was playing with Thiago Silva for two more years, he would develop into a monster. Right now, because nobody is around, he has to be the boss of the defence, but he’s still too young. <\/p>\n
