Manchester City’s Kyle Walker on Chelsea’s Reece James
Walker said about James: “Unbelievable. He is unbelievable. Just his personality and how he conducts himself around the place as well.”
The City right-back added: “The sky’s the limit for him. I think we can see what he has achieved so far in his career, and he is only young.”
Encouraging
In our view, Kyle Walker’s comments on Reece James show the friendship and strong relationship between the Manchester City and the Chelsea stars.
Walker and James are rivals at club level.
Yet James is still making contact with Walker to know about his injury.
Walker and James are England international teammates, but the same time they are fighting for a place in the starting lineup.
Yet they seem so respectful of each other and want to know about each other’s health.
That is very encouraging.
