The 19 year old has been an absolute revelation during his debut season in senior football helping to secure Wigan’s Championship status for 2019/20. The youngster has amassed a whopping 3,972 minutes this season, having impressed so much at full-back he was shifted to the heart of the Latic’s midfield in the latter part of the season. Furthermore, James has been a well-rounded player since his days at the Chelsea academy in Cobham, so the switch in position during the last two months of the season was seamless.

The most noticeable statistic is that James is amongst the most creative full-backs in the league having registered an xA of 0.21 p90, a league high. This is in part due to James’ direct, bullish style and the fact he has been given the responsibility of being Wigan’s chief set piece taker. He may not show up as one of the best crossers of a ball in the league, data-wise, but it’s important to keep in mind that most of his teammates fare similarly. For a team reliant on full-backs crossing from deep, the chances created haven’t been lacking but the dearth of incision in capitalising on them has impacted James’ numbers in that regard. Built like a tank and not wanting for mobility either, he always proves to be tough for the opposition winger to get past.

A calm head while in possession, sturdy in the tackle, an expansive passing range, excellent technique while crossing and in dead-ball situations… even long-range shooting; you name it, Reece James has got it.
