John Terry has taken to social media to wax lyrical about West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice. The 23-year-old starred in the Hammers' first win of the season – where he assisted Pablo Fornals' winning goal against Aston Villa.
Rice, who was released by Chelsea when he was a teenager trying to break through the academy, has less than two years remaining on his contract in east London. The Blues and Thomas Tuchel are huge fans of Rice and have a long-standing interest in his services.
A move this summer was always going to be difficult and is viewed as unlikely. However, next summer – when he will have a year remaining on his contract with West Ham – he could be available for a much cheaper price.
