Reece James has revealed what US President Donald Trump said to him while handing over the Club World Cup trophy.

“I knew he was going to be here, but I didn’t know he was going to be on the stand when we lifted the trophy, so I was a bit confused,” Chelsea captain Cole Palmer told the Associated Press.

Trump was caught suggesting that he wants to change the name of soccer to reflect the global sport, which is often called "football" nearly everywhere else globally.
