James has made 18 appearances in all competitions so far this season, with the prospect's attacking threat and crossing ability have been compared to that of David Beckham by former Blues' forward Pat Nevin.

Alongside young stars like Tammy Abraham, Mason Mount and Callum Hudson-Odoi, the 20-year-old is considered one of the top promises at Stamford Bridge.

"Being injured at the start of the season was tough and then I slowly got back into it and I was given my chance against Grimsby, scoring on my debut was great, and ever since then I haven't really looked back", he added."We started talking about a new contract about two months ago".
