Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior - while speaking during a press conference ahead of Saturday's Premier League visit of Newcastle - said he cannot stop smiling because Reece James has signed a new six-year contract with the club.Speaking about the defender's decision, Rosenior added: "He had many opportunities to leave this club. It's not just about the size and the stature of the club that he's come through, it's about his belief and confidence in what we're doing and where we want to go".

00:01No, I mean, I've spoken to everyone from the top of the club down, from, you know, ownership to
00:06sporting directors, and, you know, I'm fully behind, you know, the project and what we're trying to build.
00:13Liam, you can't stop smiling. Just how significant a piece of business is this club?
00:17Yeah, I can't stop smiling because we secured the best player in world football in his position,
00:24and he had many, many opportunities to leave this magnificent club, and the good thing,
00:29it's not just the size and the stature of the club that he's come through from a very, very young
00:34age,
00:34but it's his belief and confidence in what we're doing here, where we want to go.
00:38We've had many conversations about it. For him to sign a deal and put his faith in us is a
00:44massive step.
00:45The thing that impresses me most about him is his humility in him as a person,
00:48and you realise why he's having and will have the career that he will go on to have as the
00:54captain of Chelsea.
00:54For as long as I'm here, he'll be my leader.
