Chelsea fans could receive a welcome transfer boost in 2023 amid suggestions that Declan Rice may finally ask to leave West Ham and return to the Blues.
Rice was let go by Chelsea as a youngster but has been consistently linked with a big money return to the club as he looks to join a team where he has a greater chance of winning silverware. Hammers' boss David Moyes has often been loathe to discuss the possibility of Rice leaving the London Stadium but when pushed, has quoted a figure of around £100million for the England international.
Now Chelsea specialist Simon Phillips has claimed that the 2023 summer transfer window could be the one that sees Rice move back to west London, although Todd Boehly will have to face challenges from a number of other leading Premier League clubs if they are going to get their man.
