Xabi Alonso on whether his captain Reece James can become one of the best midfielders on the planet: “I would say so. I would say he’s very comfortable, very confident playing in that position.
He has the intelligence to play there. He has the intelligence to connect with teammates around in the middle to know what’s the best thing before and after you get the ball. And he has this awareness.
I remember seeing him play very well in the middle. So yes, we are using him. He will have a lot of minutes in there as a first midfielder.
