Chelsea and Man United have been told of West Ham ’s stance on a transfer for midfielder Declan Rice this summer. It comes after both sides have been heavily linked with the England international in the past few months.
For the Blues, Rice could help solve a long-term issue as well as one being faced in the next year. Key duo Jorginho and N’Golo Kante only have 12-months remaining on their contracts at Stamford Bridge, creating a threat over a lack of options in the middle, should they leave.
football.london understands neither player has held contract talks with the club as of this current moment. Plenty of sides have been linked with both, but Thomas Tuchel is keen to avoid a repeat of a situation he faced this summer.
