Chelsea captain Reece James is worth £150m in the current transfer market, Pat Nevin has said. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, if Reece James wasn’t an injury-prone footballer, it would be common knowledge across the football world that he is comfortably better than Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Pat added that the only reason why no club would be willing to part with £150m to sign James is that he is rarely fit.
His words, “If Reece James was fit, he’d be worth £150 million. He’s just stupidly good. He is that brilliant. There’s nobody like him.
And honestly, I put him above Trent Alexander-Arnold. At his best, fully fit, he was unbeatable. His quality going forward was staggering. He looked like a man playing with boys most of the time. But it’s back to the injury thing.
Had he been fully fit for the last couple of years he would be England’s definite fullback, 100%. I’m not even concerned. England are quite strong in that position, but 100 % it’s him. On top of that, he would be worth fortunes.
Every club in the world would want him, but Chelsea wouldn’t sell him. Why would they? Because they’d be the best of the best.
The problem you’ve got now is the injuries. Nobody’s going to pay that money for him. However good he is, if he’s only going to play 10, 15 games and don’t just look at last season, you’ve got to look at the last three or four. You’ve to look at them all. And it’s nothing against him.”
WOW.
