“That’s his ambition, to be Chelsea captain in future” – Chelsea player father reveals

The 21 year old reached 100 appearances for the Blues last weekend, an achievement his father is proud of.

However, Reece James’ father Nigel has revealed the Chelsea right wing-back wants to become a Chelsea captain in future.

Nigel told The Athletic.“100 games… you just sit there and think, ‘Wow,’” 

“To do that at 21… there are some people who play 300 in their career.

“But I’m not emotional. The part where I will be emotional is the day he becomes Chelsea captain.

“That’s his ambition and mine as well.

“Didier Drogba was a legend and so was John Terry. But Reece has been at Chelsea since he was six.

“There isn’t a player who has been there that young and gone on to wear the armband. The goal is to be the man that, when you hear Chelsea, you think Reece James.”
