Reece James has been on a rollercoaster journey at Chelsea since he was brought up to the first team from the academy in 2018. There have been 225 games for the Blues, an appointment as captain, but also a longer injury break and some meaningless red cards along the way. 26 appearances on the pitch this season with two goals and five assists shows that the 26-year-old still plays an important role at Stamford Bridge. This week, not many days after the tough 5-2 loss to PSG in the Champions League, the message comes that this will continue.

The Chelsea captain’s contract runs until 2028, but already now the club and player have agreed on a continuation beyond the next two years.
