Manchester City have been linked with a transfer move for Chelsea right-back Reece James, according to The Athletic.

Pep Guardiola is said to be a "huge admirer" of the 21-year-old.

While James still has four years remaining on his contract, Chelsea have also been linked with Inter wing-back Achraf Hakimi. 

Chelsea are said to see James as a squad player in the long-term as opposed to a starter.
