Chelsea star Reece James has been told he is better than Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold by former Tottenham striker Darren Bent. The two England international stars continue to be compared as they battle for a starting space in the international team under Gareth Southgate.
James is off the back of an impressive, but disrupted, season for the Blues in their first full season under Thomas Tuchel. Injury condemned the defender to missing 19 games across all competitions and it proved a problem for the Blues, who slipped away from the title race in his absence.
In total, he made 39 appearances last campaign, managing 16 goal involvements in that time too. It wasn't just the traditional right-back position he played either though, with Tuchel also looking to play him on the right as a centre-back in a back three.
