Reece James will become the highest-paid defender in Chelsea’s history after agreeing a new long-term contract.

Over the past few seasons James has developed into one of the best right-backs in Europe – and a player that has so much creative quality for the club

However – there was some speculation in the media that he would be open to the idea of leaving the club during the summer window – with Real Madrid reportedly making a move to try and get a deal done

But that did not happen – and he obviously stayed at Stamford Bridge – and now is all about to sign a new contract at the club after agreeing new terms – according to the Athletic

The 22-year-old will jump to being one of the highest-paid players in the squad, and his contract will outstrip legendary defenders at Stamford Bridge like John Terry and Ashley Cole.

The report also says The length of the contract has not been announced, but it is expected to be a very long one given the recent activity of the new owners.

IcChelseanews View…

Reece James is one of the very best players at Chelsea and the news that he has agreed new terms over a new contract is massive for the club – he could be a leader for them in the coming years

The announcement will surely come very soon as the cat is now out of the bag – but considering Cole and Terry were on wages over £200,000-a-week – it will be interesting to see just how much James now gets
