Reece James will extend contract with Chelsea
As per the current deal, James was earning in the region of £80,000 a week during his stay with the club. Moreover, it was James who decided to speak with the club and discuss a new contract to stay with Chelsea.
Speaking in an interview about the club’s ambitions for the new season, James said-
“It’s an exciting time. Not much changes from the players or the management point of view.
Our aim is still the same to win every competition we’re in and win every game,”
“There’s no reason why we can’t do that. For sure last season we had a lot of injuries.
Myself and a lot of other players had long spells out. Around Christmas time we were top of the table and injuries affected us a lot.
“This season if our team can stay fit and healthy there’s no reason we can’t be in and around it again.”
Chelsea have had a mixed start to their camping with a lot to work upon in order to compete. However, James’ contract extension will surely give the club and fans a major boost for many more seasons.
