Chelsea fans on Twitter have seen the positives of the club's transfer ban with reports that Reece James looks set to sign a new long-term contract.

With the two-window transfer ban in place, Chelsea are desperate to keep hold of their most talented young players and James will be offered an improved contract according to The Independent.

The right-back excelled on loan at Wigan, making 45 Championship appearances while earning countless plaudits and winning the Latics player of the year, players' player of the year, and goal of the season awards.

James, who participated in Chelsea's friendly against the New England Revolution in Boston last week, is expected to stay at the club next season and compete with Cesar Azpilicueta for the right-back spot.

The 19-year old has been earmarked as a future regular but the impending transfer embargo could vault the Blues' academy stars into prominence, and Chelsea supporters seem happy to accept the ban should it allow the likes of James to establish himself.
