Steve McManaman has given Thomas Tuchel his verdict on where Reece James' future lays beyond the end of the season. The Chelsea right-back has been 'brilliant' this season despite a succession of injuries which have hampered him along the way.
James' praise follows interest from Carlo Ancelotti's side, who shortlisted the 22-year-old earlier this month. The Spanish side set their sights on signing the England international after he impressing over two legs against them in the Champions League quarter-final, according to the Mirror.
The Italian boss has reportedly placed the Cobham graduate at the top of his shopping list ahead of the summer transfer window. The Mirror add that Real Madrid have watched James on nine occasions this season as Ancelotti looks to revamp his ageing side.
