Season after season, an army of Chelsea youngsters are sent out on loan all across Europe. This year, there are 40 Chelsea hopefuls eager to impress the Blues , but none are succeeding like Reece James.
The young full-back joined Wigan Athletic this summer to replace the coincidentally-named Reece James, who remained in League One with Sunderland.
The 18-year-old is drawing a huge amount of praise, with The Sun now claiming he is a £10m-target for Brighton and Hove Albion.
This is James' first taste of senior football, and he is truly excelling. He has made 17 appearances for the Championship side this season, of which 16 were starts, and has been one of Wigan's top performers.
