Chelsea player names the defender who would make the best striker, and the first out to training | OneFootball

The final international break until March is almost over. There is still a little bit more content to be wrung from it though before we get back to league action this weekend.

Tyrique George has just stepped up and done his part by doing a quick-fire quiz on the Chelsea official website.

He answered some rather interesting questions, both on his own routine and the squad in general. The winger claimed that Reece James is the first one out to training – that’s what we want to hear about our captain.

As always in these exercises, Marc Cucurella is tagged as the “biggest joker.”

“I can’t even tell you why. That guy is just too funny.”

The Spaniard is also named as the “loudest.”

Meanwhile, in a real curve ball, he names Liam Delap as the best outfielder goalkeeper to go in goal. Reece James gets a second mention, this time as the defender who would make the best striker. We can well believe that – he’s played comfortably as a midfielder and as a wing back, we’re sure his perfect technique and superb physicality would translate pretty well to playing up front too.

We’re sure one day we’ll get to see it in action, too. Having a defender you can throw up front is a real weapon at times. Just ask Man U.

In other news…

Kenan Yildiz remains a name that’s being talked about as a potential Chelsea target despite it sounding pretty unlikely that he makes a move in January. Are you buying it?

Reece James’ fitness has been a very important part of Chelsea’s season so far, and him remaining fit is going to be essential if we want to win anything.
