Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah has hailed Reece James after their Champions League defeat of AC Milan.

James, 22, became the youngest Chelsea player to score and assist in a Champions League match, and the three points saw his side move from the bottom of their group to second, with three matches to play.

"I've said it from day one," said Chalobah, who came up through Chelsea's academy alongside James.

“Right now, he could be the best in the world [in that position]. Yes, we are lucky to have him. He is an unbelievable player who can do all sides of the game.

"He can defend, get us goals and get us assists. It is a pleasure to play with him."
