Reece James has been another sensation in the list of Chelsea loanees out on loan this season.

The 19 year old centre-back has been a Chelsea boy through and through, and he has been giving the Sky Bet Championship strikers a nightmare in the Wigan Athletic colours this season.

James was awarded the Wigan Player of the Year award this season, and that proves his calibre. A player who James could actually replace in the Chelsea team right now is definitely the ageing David Luiz.

David Luiz was given a Chelsea revival this season when Maurizio Sarri favoured him over ex-manager Antonio Conte's regular centre-backs Gary Cahill and Andreas Christensen. And the Brazilian has looked great this season too. But, it is evident that his growing age has resulted in him losing out on one-on-ones and against pacy strikers of the opposition.

Reece James is everything that David Luiz isn't right now.
