Stunning Chelsea news could be the making of this Championship breakout star

Reece James has been totally shredding the Championship from right back for Wigan, and this news of a Chelsea transfer ban might be a landmark moment in his career.

Given how they’ve treated players like him before, the most recent example being Tammy Abraham during his breakout season for Bristol City in the second tier, one would expect Chelsea to seek out a lower end Premier League team to take James on next season.

But the fact we’re now banned from transfer for a year changes all that.

Now, with Cesar Azpilicueta’s powers apparently fading and Davide Zappacosta not impressing much, and increasingly linked with an exit, this could be James’ chance to get an early run at first team action.

We know he wouldn’t disappoint when thrown in at the deep end. He’s handled every challenge to come his way so far.

Could this be the making of Reece?
