That statement alone, leaves all Chelsea fans in dreamland as they demand the England international be made captain ASAP.
In a recent Twitter exchange between Chelsea defender Reece James and an Arsenal fan, Chelsea supporters have rallied behind the 23-year-old, demanding that he be appointed captain of the club.
The social media interaction occurred after the Gunners secured second place in the Premier League last season and made high-profile signings, including Chelsea’s Kai Havertz and the potential acquisition of Declan Rice from West Ham United.
The Arsenal fan took to Twitter, expressing interest in seeing Reece James play for their team, posting a picture of the talented right-back accompanied by the caption: “Reece James to Arsenal, who says no?” However, James swiftly shut down any speculation of him joining Chelsea’s rivals, responding with a straightforward “I say no.”
Chelsea’s official Twitter account quickly jumped in to show their support for the young defender, quote-tweeting James’ post and stating, “One of our own.”
The club further fueled the conversation by sharing an image of James celebrating at Arsenal with a shushing face emoji, which added to the excitement among the Chelsea fan base.

One ecstatic Twitter user wrote, “God bless you, our legend. Proper Chels.” Another fan celebrated the moment by stating, “Finished Arsenal.”
The sentiment continued to grow as fans demanded the club give Reece James the captain’s armband, with comments such as, “He’s the one and only true proper Chels. Make him the captain already” and “Give him the captaincy already.”
