'He Has Blue DNA': Alonso Confirms Reece James Will Continue As Chelsea Captain
FIFA World Cup: New Chelsea head coach Xabi Alonso has confirmed that Reece James will continue as the club’s captain for the upcoming season, describing the England international as a complete player whose deep connection with the club makes him the ideal leader.
James, who was appointed captain ahead of the 2023-24 campaign, is currently away on international duty with England at the FIFA World Cup and will rejoin Chelsea after the tournament. Despite concerns over his injury record in recent years, Alonso made it clear that the 26-year-old remains central to his plans.
“He can do everything. He can attack from inside or outside. He can deliver; he’s good at set pieces; he has blue DNA, which is very important, and we transmit that to the whole team and new players. He’s going to be the captain,” Alonso told Sky Sports.
