“I say no” – Chelsea FC player, Reece James, has blatantly refused the suggestion from fan, Ambehi, of joining Arsenal

“I say no” – Chelsea FC player, Reece James, has blatantly refused the suggestion from fan, Ambehi, of joining Arsenal FC.

James is a product of the Blues’ youth academies. Since making his first team debut back in 2019, he has so far made 147 appearances for the club, scoring 11 times and providing 20 assists.

While he had an injury-plagued campaign last term, scoring only twice and assisting twice in 24 appearances, James proved with his response that he is a Blue by heart.

Nigel James on Reece James:

“But Reece has been at Chelsea since he was six. There isn’t a player who has been there that young and gone on to wear the armband. The goal is to be the man that, when you hear Chelsea, you think Reece James.”

The English right-back blatantly rejected Arsenal after a Gunners fan expressed his desire to see him at the Emirates Stadium.

The fan with the Twitter handle, @_ambehi while sharing a picture of James, wrote, “Reece James to arsenal who says no”

Reece James replied via the comment section: “I say no.”

Pleased with his response, Chelsea quoted James’ reply with the caption, “One of our own.”

It’s been a summer of exits so far for Chelsea as N’Golo Kante, Kai Havertz, Eduardo Mendy, Mateo Kovacic, and more have already left the club. Kovacic joined 2022-23 treble-winners Manchester City.

The Croat was a key player for the Blues, making 221 appearances, scoring six goals, and providing 15 assists. Kovacic also won the UEFA Champions League with the Stamford Bridge club. Upon his exit, Kovacic posted a goodbye message, writing (via his Twitter):

“It’s been an incredible pleasure to play for such a great club & win some of the biggest trophies in the sport. Chelsea is a club I have loved every second of being at but the time has come for me to move on. See you soon, Mateo.”
