Chelsea Reject Brighton Bid For 19-Year-Old Defender

West London giants Chelsea have turned down a big bid for one of their young players according to widespread reports emanating from the media in the United Kingdom.

Chelsea loanee Reece James has been turning heads with his form this term and it’s not surprising that several Premier League clubs are interested in him.

Reece James has impressed a great deal since he joined English Championship club Wigan Athletic on loan.

According to the specific publication from The Sun, Chelsea have rejected a £10m bid from fellow Premier League outfit Brighton and Hove Albion for the young defender.

The England u-20 international is seen as the one for the future at Chelsea and the Blues are reluctant to the idea of selling him.

The 19-year-old has been attracting the interest of a lot of Premier League clubs including Crystal Palace and Brighton and Hove Albion.

Chelsea want to retain his services though he could still go out on loan next season probably to a Premier League club.

Reece James is seen as the heir to the throne of Chelsea skipper Cesar Azpilicueta who has been a wonderful servant for the Stamford Bridge outfit since joining the club from French Ligue 1 giants Marseille.

The Spanish international is the Blues’ vice captain behind club skipper Gary Cahill who’s expected to leave when his contract ends this summer.
