Levi Colwill says Chelsea’s Club World Cup win proves they are ready to win Premier League or Champions League

Chelsea’s Club World Cup win proves they are ready to win the Premier League or Champions League as soon as next season, says defender Levi Colwill.

The 22-year-old started the shock 3-0 win over Paris Saint-Germain in New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium, which crowned the Blues became world champions for the next four years in Fifa’s expanded global tournament.

Asked whether Chelsea can build on that success to win either the Premier League or Champions League, Colwill replied: “Yeah, definitely.

He added: “I said at the start of this tournament that our plan is to win it and people looked at me as if I was crazy. So I’m going to say the exact same thing now going into the Premier League and Champions League.

“This is the biggest trophy I’ve ever won. I think the Club World Cup will be bigger than the Champions League and we were the first team to win it.

“It was a statement victory and, in the future, if we keep winning trophies then everyone will give us the love that we deserve.

“But we’ll only know that in he future. I think we’re ready and we’ll see next season.”
