Chelsea Finally Look Like They’ve Replaced a Club Legend

Reece James has enjoyed an excellent start to the season

Chelsea have had a nightmare few months on the injury front, but one player who has emerged as a shining light is Reece James. The 22-year-old has been in excellent form, and his performances have often kept the Blues in games.

James has been playing as a right-back, but he has been given license to get forward and attack. He has scored three goals and provided four assists in all competitions this season, and he has also been a key part of Chelsea's defence.

James has filled the void left by Ashley Cole

James' form has been particularly impressive considering that he is playing in the position vacated by club legend Ashley Cole. Cole was one of the best left-backs in the world during his time at Chelsea, and he made over 200 appearances for the club.

James has not only filled the void left by Cole, but he has also shown that he has the potential to be even better. He is quicker and more athletic than Cole, and he is also more comfortable going forward.

James is a key part of Chelsea's future

James is still only 22 years old, but he has already shown that he is capable of playing at the highest level. He is a key part of Chelsea's present and future, and he is likely to play a major role in the club's success in the years to come.
