Declan Rice's future will be one of the key narratives of the summer transfer window. The West Ham star will have just one year left on his current contract at the London Stadium and, with the Hammers struggling in the Premier League this year, will have a big decision to make.
Rice has established himself as a mainstay of the England team under Gareth Southgate and is regarded as one of the best midfielders in the Premier League. As such, staying at West Ham, if they are not competing at the very highest level, may not be the best bet.
Chelsea have long been linked with a move for the 24-year-old, who is best friends with Mason Mount and was actually part of the Blues youth setup.
