Reece James had been shocked when he had been invited by Gareth Southgate, the boss of England to become a part of the training session of Three Lion in the previous month. This was a chance for him to be linked with Callum Hudson-Odoi, his big pal. Both of them have been nurtured through the academy of Chelsea.

He had captained the FA Youth Cup of Chelsea, the winning side and being named the annual academy player prior to Odoi and took the decision to join the forty odd Stamford Bridge on loan. The nineteen-year-old has been named in this season’s Champions Team. Prior to the double-header of England against Montenegro and Czech Republic, James being a part of the Under-20 team had been asked to become a part of the training workout for the seniors.

He said that it has been a great experience to train with England and with the legendary players such as Dele Alli and also Harry Kane. He says that he felt good to meet Odoi. He has played with him and knows him very well. James says that Odoi has got everything and he can go as far as he wants to. He isn’t going to say no when it comes to following him to the national team of England and it would be a dream come true for him.

Jame’s sister who is known to play for the women’s team of Manchester United said that it is going to be a difficult game and also a test for them but they are hoping for a positive result. James is known to maintain contact with some of the loanees from Chelsea through a group in WhatsApp and Paulo Ferreira; the technical coach is the regular visitor of this group.
