Reece James is highly regarded at Chelsea
It proved to be an award-winning campaign for the England Under-20 international, who established himself as a real fan favourite at the DW Stadium.
That has led to no shortage of interest in the right-back’s services, with the Foxes now one of the clubs vying to bring him on loan for the 2019/20 season – according to the Sun.
Brendan Rodgers believes the teenager, who captained Chelsea’s FA Cup Youth winning team, has a huge future and wants him to become a mainstay in the Leicester back line for years to come.
Rodgers is said to be willing to test Chelsea’s willingness to hold onto James with Maurizio Sarri’s future in west London still uncertain.
