Reece James Speaks About The Chelsea Legend Who Influenced His Playing Style
Reece James is relishing life under new manager Thomas Tuchel, with the young defender one of the most used players since Tuchel arrived earlier this year.
In his chat with talkSports, Reece James revealed: “When I was young I wasn’t always a right back.
“I was a striker. But I’ve always looked up to Frank Lampard because he played for the club I supported, Ashley Cole similar.
“So I’ve always supported the boys who played for the team I supported.
“[With Cole], we speak nearly every week. He’s probably one of the best left-backs to play the game.
“Even though he was a left-back the position is basically the same, just on the opposite side. He helps me a lot progressing.”
