The right-back has been at Chelsea for most of his career and has confirmed he is extending his stay with the Stamford Bridge club. “𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙪𝙚𝙨..” 💙 @ReeceJames pic.twitter.com/mRnyfQkfUH— 433 (@433) September 5, 2022 The England international was one of the lowest-paid players at the club, having signed his last deal, which took him up to 2025, in his debut season as a member of the first team in January 2020. He is now among the top earners at the club – and most definitely the best-paid defender in Thomas Tuchel’s side.”I am over the moon with my new contract, and I’m thankful for the fans, the new ownership and everyone involved in the club. I cannot wait to see what the future holds, and I am sure we will have the chance to win many trophies. I grew up supporting this club, and I’ve been here since I was six. I put pen to paper on a new deal because this is the club I want to be at. I’d like to say a special thanks to the fans, I am here to stay, and we have a bright future ahead of us.”##NAJAVA_MECA_6615604##James is now regarded as one of the best right-backs in world football. He can also play in central defence and in midfield, which is always useful at the top level. Naturally, Manchester City and Real Madrid were reportedly interested in signing James, but Chelsea’s new owner Todd Boehly acted quickly to ensure the club kept one of their best performers.Having progressed through the academy from the age of six, James is a huge fans’ favourite at Stamford Bridge, and the news will be well received. Reece will remain Blue.
