Top 3 standout Chelsea players in the 2020/21 season so far

3. Reece James

Club captain Cesar Azpilicueta has been Chelsea’s main man in the backline over recent years, performing to a high level on a consistent basis. That in itself tells you how well Reece James has done to not only get games, but to get ahead of the Spaniard as Frank Lampard’s current first-choice right-back. The England international has started 6/8 Premier League and 2/3 Champions League matches so far. James’ comfort on the ball and ability to deliver a cross has not gone unnoticed and, as well as his all round play, he’s also registered one goal and two assists.
