Gilberto Silva believes that Declan Rice is 'ready for a big move' in the summer transfer window. The 24-year-old midfielder has been heavily linked with a moves Arsenal and Chelsea this season following his impressive performances for West Ham.
Despite the arrival of Jorginho in January, football.london understand that the Gunners still hold a strong interest in Rice. It's also understood that the Hammers captain remains a key target for the Blues, where he spent a number of years alongside Mason Mount in the academy before he was eventually released at the age of 14.
The England international sees his contract at the London Stadium expire in 12 months, but it's said that West Ham have the option to extend his stay by a further year. However, Rice has previously voiced his desire to play in the Champions League and, with Chelsea set to miss out on European qualification, Arsenal look well-positioned to grab his signature.
