Chelsea loanee Levi Colwill has welcomed comparisons with club legend John Terry.

The 19-year-old has been hugely impressive on loan at Huddersfield this season as the Terries push for promotion to the top-flight.

Known as a ball-playing centre-back, Colwill has been compared to another Blues academy graduate.

Colwill told The Athletic: "I'm not going to complain. It's not a bad thing to be called the new John Terry.

"I haven't made the comparison myself so the fans and media can make whatever comparisons they want to make, it isn't going to affect me.

"John Terry is a club legend and leader, someone every centre-back at Chelsea should look up to. A great guy and player. I've not had the chance to speak to him too much.

"When he was around the academy building we'd have the odd little chat but it'd be more of a, 'Hi, how are you?', kind of thing, not on a personal level about football or things like that."
