Reece James wanted to be Lampard, Drogba and Robben as he writes his own Chelsea story

Reece James admits to having grown up idolising Chelsea legends Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard and Arjen Robben, with the 20-year-old now looking to write his own success story at Stamford Bridge.

A product of the Blues’ academy system has been part of the set-up in west London since 2006. He is currently living the dream as a senior star with the club he supported as a boy.

A breakthrough season is being enjoyed in 2019-20, with a number of home-grown talents being given an opportunity to thrive, with James making the most of his chances.
