The Chelsea boss picked the England U21 defender to star in a 4-3 win against the club he played for on loan last season, and who want to buy for £30m. But Pochettino says Colwill, who was called into the senior England squad for the game against Malta in June, has a Stamford Bridge future. The former Tottenham boss said "We don't need to show nothing and make a statement about us. He is our player and he is going to be with us. "I am happy with him, his performance was good. Better than what I expect because it is one of the first games he has. I think he can be one of the greatest centre-backs in England.' Asked if he could accept Colwill leaving as part of a deal to sign Moises Caicedo, Pochettino said: 'It is clear his situation, and there is nothing to say. He is our player and we are happy with him and he is going to be part of our team.' Pochettino will attempt to bring youngsters through like Colwill but warned: 'We need to understand also we are in Chelsea. Chelsea is to win, it's not about developing players. 'We need to be careful because people expect to win, when you play for Chelsea it's about winning, it's not about playing good football only. It is about building a squad with the possibility to give the space that they deserve or the space that we believe they deserve.' Indeed, Pochettino is still desperate to bring in new signings and, earlier this week, Brighton rejected a second bid from Chelsea for star midfielder Caicedo. The Blues' latest offer for the Ecuador international is believed to be around £70million. Caicedo requested to leave Albion in January amid interest from Arsenal but in March signed a new contract until 2027. The){kind=link}
