Former West Ham United defender Glen Johnson believes current captain Declan Rice needs to leave to 'kick on' in his career and has tipped him to join Chelsea.
Rice is returning from representing England at the 2022 Qatar World Cup having started every game for Gareth Southgate's side, eventually losing 2-1 to current holders France at the quarter-final stage.
The midfielder's future as a Hammer is a constant subject of speculation, with a number of Premier League giants, from Manchester United to Chelsea, interested in securing his signature as early as the upcoming January transfer window.
