Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior could not hide his delight after club captain Reece James committed his future to Chelsea FC, calling the England international “the best player in the world in his position.”
The right-back recently signed a new contract extension with the London club, a move that has brought optimism around Stamford Bridge as Chelsea look to build a strong core for the future. Rosenior praised the defender’s quality and leadership, insisting the club has secured a world-class player for years to come.
“I can’t stop smiling,” Rosenior said while speaking about James’ new deal. “Reece signed a new contract and we’ve secured the best in the world in his position to stay here.”
James, who rose through Chelsea’s academy, has become one of the club’s most important players in recent seasons. Known for his defensive strength, crossing ability, and attacking threat down the right flank, the England international has established himself as one of the top full-backs in European football.
Despite battling injuries in recent campaigns, the 24-year-old remains a crucial figure for Chelsea both on and off the pitch. His leadership qualities also earned him the captain’s armband, underlining the trust the club places in him.
