Reece James says that fellow Chelsea defender Thiago Silva has had the biggest influence on his career so far after taking him "under his wing" over the past few months.
Silva arrived at Stamford Bridge on a free transfer after leaving Paris Saint-Germain in August, and has since established himself as one of the most consistent performers in the Chelsea squad.
The Brazilian has also been giving valuable tips to James about how to improve his all-round game, with the England international grateful to be learning from a man who has achieved so much at the highest level.
