Intresting to read that our Kyle Walker thinks Reece James is the best right back in the world.Something I've being saying for a couple of years now,without much comment on here. Nice to have my opinion validated by Walker ; )
The relevant article is from " 90 mins " and Walkers analysis of other top right backs is enlightening. This is a player who clearly thinks about football deeply. I also didn't know that RJ used to play midfield...which explains his wonderful ball control,and eye for a pass....the recent Forest v Chelsea game showed this,when after coming on as a sub ,returning from injury,he reached the dead ball line,and with incredible skill and balance,produced a perfect cross, on the half volley to Jackson at the far post,who duly scored.
I did think at the time how the hell did he manage that so expertly ..?
Now I know he's really a ( two footed ) midfielder playing at fight back !
Great player, one we should be after, imo.
