    Enzo Maresca is being particularly careful with James, who was deployed in midfield in the Europa Conference League last-16 first leg win at Copenhagen 2-1 in the most recent game, and Cole is backing the youngster to continue his excellent form for both club and country.

    “He’s got the respect of every player at Chelsea because of what he does technically and physically,” Cole said. “When he’s at his best he’s as good as anybody in the world, there’s no doubt about that. He just needs to find his inner peace and get on with it before he goes on the pitch.”

    “He can also play in midfield. He play there when he go on loan to Wigan. And won the Player of the Year award when he is a youngster. He looks very comfortable there.”

    “He has so much more to show at Chelsea and in the England team. It’s great to see him impact the game as he has.”

    “Don’t give up, Reece James, because this is a real world-class player who can be a key player for both Chelsea and England. Hopefully he can continue like this now.”
