Chelsea's manager, Enzo Maresca, has stated that finding a defensive replacement is a priority for the team. Maresca praised Colwill's contributions to the team last season, saying that he was a key player and will be missed.

Hincapie's performance in Bayer Leverkusen's recent match against Chelsea, where his team won 2-0, has likely caught the attention of Chelsea's scouts. The club is now considering making a move to sign the defender.
