Lauren James has revealed Chelsea manager Emma Hayes "knows how to get the best out of her" with the forward starting to play her best football for the Blues.
James, 21, has had a big impact on Chelsea's form in recent months, scoring five goals to help the league champions charge to the top of the WSL and reach the last eight of the UEFA Women's Champions League. The sister of fellow Chelsea star Reece James is now pushing for regular international call-ups with the Lionesses and says that her slow introduction into the starting team by Hayes was a masterstroke.
In an interview with Sky Sports' Inside the WSL programme James, who spent four years at Chelsea as a youth player before re-joining in 2021, said her close relationship with the Blues manager has helped her hit top form.
