Chelsea's long-standing interest in Declan Rice is expected to finally be pursued in the summer as part of Todd Boehly's transfer policy at Stamford Bridge. The West Ham captain has been linked with a move away from the Hammers at the end of the season after reportedly turning down fresh terms at the London Stadium.
Rice's current deal expires at the end of next season and has been tipped to finally secure a move to one of Europe's biggest clubs after a number of impressive campaigns with West Ham. Since making his senior debut in May 2017, the 24-year-old has made more than 220 appearances for the east London outfit.
Two clubs who have both been strongly linked with acquiring Rice's services this summer are Chelsea and Arsenal. The England international was let go by the Blues at a young age and has long been linked with reuniting with best friend Mason Mount at Stamford Bridge.
