Manchester City captain Kyle Walker has identified Chelsea’s Reece James as the “best right-back in the world.”
Walker praised James for possessing all the essential qualities of a top right-back.
Despite dealing with recurring injuries, James has proven himself as one of the Premier League’s top defenders since debuting for the Blues’ first team in September 2019.

When asked to name the world’s best right-back on the “You’ll Never Beat Kyle Walker” podcast, Walker responded, “Reece James.”
“He’s just got everything. Everything. If I could make the complete right-back, it would be him. He can defend, attack, he’s technical, can use both feet, he’s a threat in dead-ball situations, he’s quick.”
James was appointed as Chelsea’s new captain after Cesar Azpilicueta left the club at the end of the previous season.
Despite this, the 24-year-old was unexpectedly left out of Gareth Southgate’s 33-man provisional England squad for this summer’s Euros in Germany.
