Chelsea right-back Reece James has revealed the toughest opponent he has faced.

According to the right-back, who is now first-choice ahead of Cesar Azpilicueta, Liverpool forward Sadio Mane is his toughest opponent.

James told The Athletic: “My toughest opponent has been Sadio Mane. He is one of the best wingers in the league, if not the world.

“He is strong, quick, good on the ball and one of the toughest to play against, and then you also have (Mane’s Liverpool team-mate) Andy Robertson on the outside.”
