Chelsea have been dealt another huge blow to their hopes of signing Declan Rice in the summer. The 24-year-old has been heavily linked with an exit from West Ham for a while now as he continues to impress on both the domestic and international stage.
Despite the arrival of Jorginho on deadline day, football.london understand that Arsenal still hold a strong interest in Rice. However, it's also understood that the Hammers captain remains a key target for the Blues as well.
Rice is under contract at the London Stadium until 2024, with David Moyes' side holding the option to extend his stay by a further year. The England international is yet to pen a new deal at West Ham and he's previously voiced his ambition to play in the Champions League.
