Chelsea London defender Thiago Silva commented on the performances of his teammate Reece James.
The 38-year-old Brazilian believes that the Englishman is capable of becoming a world-class star.
He's a very young athlete, but he plays like he's been on the field for many years. I hope he can keep the winning mentality because he is someone who works very hard and deserves success. He is one of the powerhouses of our team, Reece is good both offensively and defensively. I hope he keeps it up, he has what it takes to be one of the best in history.
