Reece James Could Be the Right-Back of the England national team

By db-admin

DBasia.news –  Joe Cole believes Chelsea’s right-back, Reece James, can win Trent Alexander-Arnold’s place in the England national team.

Reece James, who is a Chelsea academy player, plays in the Blues first team this season. He also had the opportunity to compete with senior defenders like Cesar Azpilicueta.

So far, he has appeared 23 times for Chelsea in all competitions. His appearance also had received praise and he was said to have the ability to give a cross like David Beckham.

Cole claimed to be more impressed with the appearance shown by Reece James rather than Trent Alexander-Arnold. In fact, he was sure James would get rid of Trent from the England national team.

“He’s a different class, Reece James, people talk about his cross, but he rarely comes out of defense, he’s a strong kid, he’s cold, he’s calculating his game. He has been one of the most consistent Chelsea players in the past few weeks. He will put Trent under pressure, “said Cole at Soccerway.

“When he gets the ball, you feel safe in any position. He only puts the ball into the area, it’s inviting if you are a striker. Maybe there will be a system change because this person can play for England as soon as possible, “Cole added.

Meanwhile, Alexander-Arnold himself is the king of assists in the Premier League for the defender position. He broke the record number of assists for defenders in a season in the 2018-19 season yesterday with a collection of 12 assists.

This season, Trent has collected 12 assists. With 11 matches left, there’s a good chance Alexander-Arnold will break his own record last season.
