I think he would genuinely suit any club, especially one going through a few changes or dealing with injuries.James has enjoyed another impressive season at Chelsea(Image: Liverpool FC/Liverpool FC via Getty Images)“Players like him are hard to find because I don't think he would go to a club expecting to play 50 games at right-back, for example. It's not going to happen.“So, to have a player who can adapt and do whatever the team and squad need, I think a lot of teams would want that option.“I'd love to see him at Liverpool, that's for sure.
