Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti 'places Reece James at the top of his summer transfer wishlist' after being impressed with the Chelsea defender during their Champions League clash

Carlo Ancelotti has reportedly placed Reece James high on Real Madrid's list of transfer targets this summer.

The Chelsea right-back impressed in both Champions League games against the Laliga side this month.

Real's scouting department scrutinised James' performances and they will now make a summer move for the England international.

That's according to the Mirror, who claim Real have watched James at least nine times this season, with a view to making a bid.

Ancelotti wants to 'reshape' his team and he believes the Blues' defender is the right player to sign.
