Reece James acknowledges that his versatility has helped him to make a senior breakthrough at Chelsea, but the 20-year-old is looking to nail down a regular role at right-back.
James is pleased to have more than one string to his bow, but is prepared to pick out one favored position.
I’ve told Sky Sports: “I probably prefer right-back but there is not much in it.
“I will happily play right-back and midfield – I have played there enough that I am comfortable playing that position as well.”
James is just happy to see competitive minutes at this stage of his career, with the London native and boyhood Chelsea fan aware that he remains on a steep learning curve.
Lampard’s faith has allowed further potential to be unlocked this term, with the England U21 international delighted to have earned a prominent place in the plans of a Premier League heavyweight.
I’ve added on his efforts to date: “This season was slow getting started, because I was injured at the start.
“But, as I found my rhythm and the season has gone on, I think my performances have picked up.
“I think it’s great that loads of players I played with coming through the academy are now in the first team as well.
“I think it shows how hard the academy works and the effort they put in to produce good players.”
Chelsea entered the coronavirus-enforced lockdown sat inside the Premier League’s top four, still battling for a place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League and through to the last eight of the FA Cup.
