Former Chelsea winger Pat Nevin has named one Chelsea player who would be worth £150 million if he could stay fit.

The former Blue is often doing interviews and we are often seeing quotes from him. Personally, I always enjoy hearing and see what Nevin has to say and more often than not, find myself agreeing with him.

Sources: Chelsea still in the market for a new striker, new centre back, and a new goalkeeper this window!

And this time it is no different, because he is out there saying that Reece James would be a £150m player if he could stay fit, and I fully agree.

He has the ability to be one of the best in the world and he is only going to get better is he can stay injury free. And that is the problem, we rarely see him sustain a run of games in the team due to different and reoccurring injuries.

It’s far from ideal, but his injuries did get a little bit better towards the end of the season when he was able to sustain some game time as it was being managed well by Enzo Maresca and the club.

So what has Nevin said exactly?

In words quoted on X today, Nevin said:

“If Reece James was fit, he’d be worth £150 million. He’s just stupidly good. He is that brilliant. There’s nobody like him. And honestly, I put him above Trent Alexander-Arnold.

“At his best, fully fit, he was unbeatable. His quality going forward was staggering. He looked like a man playing with boys most of the time. But it’s back to the injury thing.”

It’s a big shout but I even think James could be worth MORE than £150m if he stayed fit!
