Premier League: Reece James might be arranged in a new position, hints Frank Lampard

Frank Lampard said James' all-round game is so good he can play in central midfield and can fit into whatever formation Chelsea plays. Chelsea boss Frank Lampard says Reece James possibly will be organized in middle midfield in the future as his all-round game is so good.

Reece was selected in his preferential right-back position ahead of Cesar Azpilicueta for Chelsea's 2-0 win over Crystal Palace on Saturday. And he overcomes against Wilfried Zaha, assassinating out the threat from the flying Palace winger. James may find it hard to set himself up at right-back ahead of Azpilicueta on a regular basis.

Lampard will be eager to keep experience in his defense having played a youthful back four of James, Kurt Zouma, Fikayo Tomori, and Emerson on Saturday. But the Chelsea boss said there will be opportunities for Reece James in whatever configuration he selects - and forecasted the teen will move into midfield as his career progresses.

"Right-back would be his favored position," Lampard said: "Whether it be there, right wing-back or right of a three. As he’s coming into the team, you’d see him there but he does have that all-round game that he could handle playing centrally in midfield if needs be. At the moment we’ve got good players in there who are used to playing in there anyway, but he could always do that as he matures through his career."

Lampard said Azpilicueta took it well when James was preferred to him for Saturday's game. "He took it as I thought he would do, as a perfect professional and it was not a problem," said Lampard. "He wants to play, of course, he does, but I think he also understands the quality of Reece.”

"He’s played every game, and every minute of the games, so I don’t think it’s the worst for him to have a bit of a rest and now he can go away and have a rest. We’ve got massive games coming up after the break."
