Mauricio Pochettino has showered Reece James with high praise, dubbing the 23-year-old as one of the best players in the world.
The current captain of Chelsea not only holds a pivotal role on the pitch but has also become a senior figure within the squad. Despite his prominent position, the main challenge for the England international remains his own fitness.
The Argentine head coach acknowledges the significance of James's presence on the pitch, emphasizing the undeniable impact he brings to the team.
"We are caring a lot about him because I think he is a great talent. For me, one of the best players in the world,” Pochettino told beIN SPORTS Asia.
“And now when you touch and feel it up close you say, ‘Wow, what an amazing player.’ And I think he is a player that everyone respects in the club, the teammates, the staff, everyone. And I think he has a very good personality.
