Chelsea defender Levi Colwill says he and Wesley Fofana “complement each other really well” and are close on and off the pitch.

The pair have been Enzo Maresca’s starting centre-back partnership in all three of our Premier League matches so far.

“Fofana’s a really good player and I really enjoy playing with him,” said Colwill to the Blues’ club website. “He’s so aggressive and I think we complement each other really well.

“Behind the scenes he’s such a great lad. I get on really well with him and I think everyone in the team gets on really well with him.

“We’ve created loads of chances by building from the back. You can see the way the gaffer wants us to play and there’s definitely loads of positives to take. We are building. We’ve only had a few games with the new gaffer, but it’s really exciting.

“All the players are excited for it and I think the fans should be too.”
