Reece James: Chelsea’s Quiet Leader and England’s Rising Star
Reece James, Chelsea's standout right-back, has been making waves both at club and international levels. Recently called up to the England squad for the first time since 2023, James's resurgence has been marked by his consistent performances and leadership at Chelsea. Thomas Tuchel, former Chelsea manager, expressed no doubt about James's inclusion, praising his maturity and influence on the pitch.
Eni Aluko and Joe Cole, both former Chelsea stars, have hailed James as a 'quiet leader' and one of the best right-backs in the world. His ability to contribute defensively and offensively has been pivotal for Chelsea, with Tuchel noting that a fully fit James 'will still scare fans a little' due to his high impact on games. James's recent call-up alongside two other Chelsea teammates to the England squad further underscores his importance to both club and country.
