Chelsea aim to beat Liverpool to Declan Rice transfer alternative with January move on the cards

Chelsea are interested in signing Sheffield United midfielder Sander Berge in the January transfer window. That's according to JeunesFooteu, who say the Blues are in a race with Liverpool for the Norwegian's signature.

Berge moved to England in January 2020 where he joined the Blades for around €23million (£19.8m). The highly-rated Norway international thought he had taken the next step in his career by moving to the Premier League only for Sheffield United to be relegated back down to the Championship and now he finds himself wanting to leave Bramall Lane.

The report claims that the 24-year-old is eager to leave the Sheffield-based club, with several Premier League teams, including Chelsea and Liverpool, keeping a close eye on the situation. The Blues see the midfield area as their priority ahead of the next couple of transfer windows.
