"Yeah I can't stop smiling because we've secured the best player in world football in his position. He had many, many opportunities to leave this magnificent club, and the good thing, it's not just the size and the stature of the club that he's come through from a very young age, but it's his belief and confidence in what we're doing here and where we want to go."
"For him to sign a deal and put his faith in us is a massive statement. Reece James has bounced back after Enzo Maresca difficulties. The England international now looks back to his best, but this time last year, Maresca was critical of him and questioned his capabilities as club captain."
Reece James has committed his future to Chelsea by signing a new contract, turning down numerous opportunities to leave the club. Manager Liam Rosenior expressed delight at securing James, describing him as the best player in the world in his position. Rosenior highlighted that James had many chances to depart but chose to stay due to his belief in the club's direction and ambitions. The decision represents a significant statement of faith in Chelsea's project. James has flourished under Rosenior's management following the managerial change from Enzo Maresca, with the England international returning to peak form after previously facing criticism regarding his captaincy.
