The cat is out of the bag, it's no surprise, everyone knows it. Reece James is a good footballer and he can do a bit of everything, basically perfectly too.
Can he play the cross-field parabolic pass to the opposing wingback, fullback, winger or randomly placed Thiago Silva? Of course. Can he receive the inverse cross-field parabolic pass from the opposing wingback, fullback, winger or randomly placed Thiago Silva and have it melt onto his chest like a piece of chocolate left on the sofa? Well, duh?
He's just as good off the ball, and that's a serious skill because on it he is able to bend the fabric of space and time to get crosses into unreachable corners of the universe. His body is a temple of Michelangelo sculpted proportions, biologically engineered to shove people off the ball or emit a force-field that stops opponents coming too close to him. Careful, this is a natural treasure.
