🚨🔵 Earlier this window, most Chelsea fans wanted Josh Acheampong to go out on loan for game time.
Two games into the season and we’re already asking for him to start against Arsenal. 😂 That tells you everything about the talent this guy has.
Chelsea turned down interest from Liverpool, PSG and Real Madrid because they saw him as one for the future. The ability was never the problem. It was always about getting enough minutes.
Now he’s getting his opportunity, and we’re seeing exactly why Chelsea believed in him. ���🔥
Peter Crouch backs Chelsea to beat Arsenal on Sunday:
🗣 "I think they’ll concede goals, but I think there will be goals, it will be interesting to see.
I’m going to put the cat amongst the pigeons and I’m going to go for a 3-2 Chelsea win. I think they’ve announced themselves as title contenders."
If Xabi Alonso, who was one of the best midfielders of his generation, believes that Reece James can become one of the best midfielders in the world, then I don't need any fan on X who has never kicked a ball to tell me that Reece isn't a midfielder.
Nobody has a designated permanent position in football. It's all about where your attributes fit best.
The fact is, most people who say "Reece is not a midfielder" or "Reece is poor in midfield" can't give you a tangible tactical or technical reason for that. It's just social media narratives.
🔵🎬 Reece James on what the best part of being Chelsea captain is:
🗣️ "Living my childhood dream, this is something I set my eyes on at 6 years old. It makes me super happy and proud."

Cesc Fàbregas picking up right where he left off – another great start to the season with Como! I'm glad he stayed this season, but one of the big guns is going to take him soon…it's just a matter of time.
Incredible player, and shaping up to be a great manager. 💫
