Declan Rice confirms clear transfer status as Chelsea, Liverpool and Man Utd explore bids

Declan Rice has issued a come and get me plea to Chelsea whilst on international duty with England. The West Ham captain is about to enter the final 18-months of his contract at the London Stadium and is heavily linked with a move away next summer.

The 23-year-old has been a target for Chelsea since 2020 and Frank Lampard's initial drive to bring him back to Stamford Bridge - a place he was released from aged 14 in the academy - but nothing has come of that interest. Having rejected contract extensions and proposals since, Rice looks set to leave the Hammers.

The defensive midfielder is currently away with England in Qatar having started all three group games for the Three Lions, and remains an integral part of Southgate's squad. England face Senegal in the last-16 on Sunday, the first World Cup knockout match of his career.
