Chelsea boss Frank Lampard admits central midfield could be the future for Reece James.

James impressed on debut in victory over Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Lampard said, "Right-back would be his favoured position, whether it be there, right wing-back or right of a three.

"As he's coming into the team, you'd see him there but he does have that all-round game that he could handle playing centrally in midfield if needs be.

"At the moment we've got good players in there who are used to playing in there anyway, but he could always do that as he matures through his career."
