Chelsea star Reece James has huge ambitions of captaining the club one day, according to his father Nigel, with the current role vacant following the exit of Cesar Azpilicueta.
The 23-year-old has an 18-year association with the Blues, having joined at just six-years-old and working his way through the academy ranks. A successful loan spell at Wigan saw him return to Stamford Bridge, where then-manager Frank Lampard brought him into the first-team setup.
James managed to shine alongside his fellow academy graduates as the likes of Mason Mount, Fikayo Tomori and Tammy Abraham were given a chance during a transfer ban. However, the band of stars that made their way through in recent years have all taken different routes.
