My Take
Jordan James is one of those young players I find genuinely exciting to track. Debuting for Birmingham City at 17, racking up over a hundred appearances, then moving to Ligue 1 side Rennes and earning Wales caps, all before his mid-twenties, signals real ambition. I respect the boldness of leaving England to test himself in a foreign league at such a young age. Central midfielders who run, link play and do the unglamorous work rarely grab headlines, but they are exactly my kind of player. Where he lands in a few seasons is one of the more open questions in his generation.
