Why Reece James is currently the best English all-round right-back. A stats comparison as we move into the international break.
So far this season:

- 723 club minutes
- 2 goals
- 1 assist
- 88.5% pass acc
- 2.5 tackle p90
- 1.5 clearances
- 0.7 dribbles
- 2 clean sheets
- WhoScored rating 7.08

Chelsea’s defence has got better and better. With Reece in the side, expect it to continue.
Trent Alexander-Arnold so far this season:

- 854 club minutes
- 0 goals
- 3 assists
- 74.6% pass acc
- 1 tackles p90
- 1.3 clearances p90
- 0.5 dribbles p90
- 1 clean sheet
- WhoScored rating 6.8

Elite player, but defensively weak when compared to his attacking ability.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka so far this season:

- 787 club minutes
- 1 goal
- 0 assists
- 81.3% pass acc
- 2.6 tackles
- 1.4 clearances
- 0.8 dribbles
- 1 clean sheet
- WhoScored rating 6.78

For £50 mil United have a very good defender, but he’s weak going forward.
Reece James is more well rounded than the other two right now. Kyle Walker is in good form but I imagine Southgate will play him at CB. Chelsea’s star boy showing why he deserves his chance to start for England right now.
