, Chelsea fans all say the same thing as Reece James pockets Blues transfer target Rafael Leao in Champions League AGAIN

CHELSEA fans are all in agreement after watching Reece James pocket AC Milan star Rafael Leao for the second time in a week.

The Blues right-back put in a player of the match display at Stamford Bridge and was brilliant again in the reverse fixture at the San Siro on Tuesday.

Reece James expertly kept Rafael Leao out of both games against Chelsea

That was until he had to be replaced just after the hour mark by Cesar Azpilicueta through injury.

James jarred his knee and limped off, sparking concerns that he may be sidelined for the World Cup, which gets underway next month.

But yet again in the Champions League, James was superb in keeping Chelsea transfer target Leao, 23, quiet.

And Blues fans are now all saying Leao should secure a move to Stamford Bridge after being unable to get the better of James.

One wrote on Twitter: “Rafael Leao if you can’t beat Reece James just join him man, join him. It’s simple!!”

Another said: “Leao should come to Chelsea just so he doesn’t have to face James again.”

And a third added: “If I was Leao I’d join Chelsea just so that I wouldn’t have to play against Reece James anymore.”

Leao was a summer transfer target for Chelsea as new owner Todd Boehly came in and splashed the cash.

AC Milan technical director Paolo Maldini even confirmed the Blues had made a verbal offer for the winger.

Boehly and Co are said to be expected to reignite their interest in Portuguese ace Leao when the transfer window reopens in January.

But reports suggest they could have a battle on their hands to secure his signature.

Paris Saint-Germain are now believed to have entered the race to sign Leao.

The French champions see him as a perfect replacement for Lionel Messi, who has been linked with an emotional return to Barcelona.
