Cesar Azpilicueta explains how he will help Reece James develop at Chelsea

Chelsea star Cesar Azpilicueta has said that he will do everything on his might to help Reece James develop. Azpilicueta, the Blues captain, is facing stiff competition from the 19-year-old for the place in the starting line-up. "He had an amazing spell [on loan] at Wigan last season," Azpilicueta said at Chelsea's pre-match press conference in Lille. "He showed his qualities. He is a very strong lad, good attitude. I'll try to help him with everything he needs here and to help play. "Even though he can play right back, we can both play in different positions. I'm here to support him the same way I support all the young lads. "Hopefully he can be a very important player for the club like the other young lads because they have quality and Reece is one of them. Hopefully he can be part of a big team." James impressed during his first-team debut as he scored two goals and one from right back against Grimsby Town in the Carabao Cup victory. Azpilicueta and James will be in action on Wednesday, in their Champions League clash against Lille.
