New Chelsea owner Todd Boehly appears to have weighed in on the debate over who is the better player between Trent Alexander-Arnold and Reece James (via the Liverpool Echo).
Our No. 66 is recognized as one of the best right-backs in the world for the way he has reinvented the position in recent years with his impressive array of passing and attacking displays.
James, meanwhile, has often been preferred over Alexander-Arnold by England boss Gareth Southgate due to the fact that he is seen as a stronger defensive option and can also create chances down the line.

Liverpool and Chelsea fans have been divided for several years.
Academy graduate Alexander-Arnold has scored 14 goals and recorded 61 assists in 234 appearances for his boyhood club, while James has 10 goals and 20 assists in 129 appearances for the Londoners.
Boehly, who recently replaced Roman Abramovich as Stamford Bridge team owner, has now made it clear which player he thinks is the best of the pair.
Twitter user @UtiAnthony2 cast a vote on the social media platform with the caption: “Best RB. As for Reece James. Retweet for Trent Alexander-Arnold.”
Unsurprisingly, Chelsea’s new owner liked the tweet and showed his support for the 22-year-old.
Although Scouser’s recent performances haven’t done much to help his cause in the debate, we’re hopeful he can return to his best form in the coming months to leave Southgate with a tough decision to make when England compete in the World Cup. Qatar. Cup later this year.
