Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel says Reece James has plenty of room to continue his progress.

It is easy to forget that he remains relatively early in his professional career and is still a couple of weeks short of his 22nd birthday.

However, that fact isn't lost on Tuchel, as it is James' potential and what he could still produce as he continues to develop.

The manager said, "He is improving, he takes responsibility and it is needed. He is far from finished in his development, he is super young.

"He has all the potential to be a big and important player for Chelsea and he's on his way. No more and obviously no less. I feel him dedicated and hungry for more and this is what we want."
