Thomas Tuchel and Todd Boehly told why Chelsea must sign Declan Rice in summer transfer window

Jarrod Bowen has told Todd Boehly exactly why Chelsea should complete the signing of Declan Rice in the upcoming transfer window. The West Ham vice-captain has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge this season, with Thomas Tuchel eager to undergo a rebuild this summer.

Rice topped the west London side's shortlist in the summer, but a move was delayed after a £100 million evaluation was tipped 'steep', according to The Athletic. But now, following a handful of imperious displays for the Hammers, David Moyes has since insisted it would take £150m for the 23-year-old to depart the London Stadium.

The England international, who was released from Cobham at the age of 14, sees his current deal at the London Stadium expire in the summer of 2024. However, the east Londoners do have the option to extend that by a further 12 months should West Ham look to retain the 'Premier League's best holding midfielder'.
