Chelsea wait on Sadio Mane response after Reece James draws Rafael Leao transfer hint

Reece James' popularity and standing in world football has been shown on social media as two the best attackers in the game responded to his Twitter message.

The Chelsea forward has had to watch from home as Rafael Leao and Vinicius Jr both star at the World Cup in Qatar, but it hasn't stopped him from getting attention from his peers. James would have been part of England's squad for the tournament had he not gotten injured playing against Leao in October.

At 22, James is already one of the most well-rounded full-backs in the world and has a growing reputation as being capable at both ends of the field. His form before getting injured had elevated him to world-class status, and with the Blues looking to add players to their squad in the coming windows, he may well have new teammates in front of him.
