Chelsea’s sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley have expressed their delight in Colwill’s extension, celebrating his talent, dedication, and determination. As they succinctly put it, “Everyone at the club is now looking forward to watching him thrive at Stamford Bridge in the seasons ahead.”
