Reece James has been earning massive praise from all corners following his top performance in the 3-0 victory over Italian champions AC Milan.

Veteran defender Thiago Silva who has played with so many great players during his illustrious career, has named Reece James as one of the greatest right-backs in the history of the game.

“He’s a very young athlete but looks like he’s been playing football for so many years,” Silva told Hayters.

“It’s easy to talk about him because he is someone I really like.

“I hope he can continue with this winning mentality because he is a guy who works really hard and deserves all this success. He is one of the strengths of our team, both offensively and defensively.

“I hope he can continue like this, because is he keeps this winning mentality he has everything to be one of the best in history.”

Chelsea fans have been in awe of Reece James performance and one even nicknamed him as the ‘the terminator of right-backs’.

Luciano Scametti wrote on Twitter: “Reece James has been the best right back in England but he’s getting even better. Fair enough.”
