The new Chelsea captain has been a member of the West London team since he was six years old and is a graduate of the Chelsea Academy.
The 23-year-old England international takes Cesar Azpilicueta’s spot after he joined Atletico Madrid earlier this summer on a free transfer from the Blues.

“We are thrilled that Reece will lead the team this year as captain”
“He leads by example and his attitude and dedication to Chelsea has been clear throughout pre-season. He proudly wore the armband during our summer tour and will take up the challenge of leading our squad with his own approach and ideas.”
Nevertheless, James stated that; “I’m so happy to take on the role and responsibility.
“I know I’ve got big shoes to fill because we have had huge captains here in the past, but I am excited.
“I have been at Chelsea pretty much my whole life. I started here when I was six and to come through the academy is tough. But to go on and become captain, it’s a great feeling for me and my family.”
