Manchester City legend Yaya Toure has said that Chelsea transfer target Declan Rice can become just as good as himself as transfer speculation continues to mount around the West Ham midfielder.
Rice has been linked with moves to Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United ahead of the summer transfer window, with Thomas Tuchel eager to strengthen his midfield options. Although West Ham are expected to demand upwards of £100 million for his services, a move away looks a distinct possibility, particular with the player's past links to Stamford Bridge.
Rice has been in excellent form over the last two seasons, becoming one of the Premier League's standout midfield talents and becoming a first-choice option in Gareth Southgate's England team as well. This season has seen the 23-year-old add more attacking prowess to his repertoire as well, scoring four goals and providing four assists in all competitions.
