Chelsea defender Reece James has explained what position he prefers to play. He stated that while he prefers to play as a wing-back, he is open to playing in the back three if manager Thomas Tuchel wants him to.
The 22-year-old has established himself as one of European football's best young right-backs in recent times. He has played 123 times for Chelsea in three seasons, as well as gained 13 England caps.
James is more than capable of playing on the right of a central-defensive trio, as well as a right-back in the back four. He has even been deployed as a holding midfielder at times.
However, speaking to Chelsea's official website , the Cobham academy graduate confirmed that his favored position under Tuchel is as a wing- back. He explained:
“Wherever I’m asked to play, I’ll do my best and try to help the team as much as I can. I personally prefer to play wing-back out of the two positions but Thomas is the manager and I’m the player so wherever I’m required to play, I’ll always play."
“I’ ve played a number of positions before and I’m used to it now so it’s just about adapting on the day.”
