Rising star Aaron Anselmino is emerging as a serious competitor to Levi Colwill at Chelsea, with the 19-year-old’s defensive attributes drawing comparisons to former Blues favourite David Luiz.
Levi Colwill’s performances this season have raised concerns, with a growing number of defensive errors leading to scrutiny over his role in Enzo Maresca’s system. As Chelsea continue their youth-focused recruitment strategy, Argentine defender Aaron Anselmino is now viewed as a potential long-term replacement.
Signed from Boca Juniors for £15m, Anselmino has been training with the first team and has impressed with his composure, passing range, and defensive awareness—qualities that echo David Luiz’s versatility. With Wesley Fofana returning from injury and competition increasing, Colwill may soon find his place in the starting XI under threat.
