People thought I was crazy when I said we'd win it

LEVI COLWILL has declared Club World Cup champions Chelsea will be challengers for Premier League and Champions League glory next season.

The Blues scooped £97million in prize money as two-goal Cole Palmer inspired them to an emphatic 3-0 win over favourites Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 in the final in New Jersey.

Last Sunday’s success has given Enzo Maresca’s men belief they can step up next season and fight for the big prizes.

Defender Colwill reckons that winning mentality comes from Chelsea heroes of the past such as John Terry, Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba — and this generation is determined to keep up the club’s best traditions.

Colwill said: “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. We're ready.
