‘We’re Aiming To Be Mid Table’ ‘Really?’ Fans Question Reports That Suggest Chelsea Are Still Interested In 120M Rated Midfielder

West Ham midfielder Declan Rice remains a top transfer target for Chelsea ahead of next summer, according to reports in England.

The Blues’ interest in the England international had seemingly cooled following the takeover by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, while the departure of Thomas Tuchel had raised further doubts about a potential bid.

However, it appears that the London club’s recruitment team are still very much set on signing Rice, which hasn’t gone down well with some supporters on Twitter:

Although Rice will have one year remaining on his contract next summer, West Ham do have an option to extend his stay for a further year, which means they are expected to keep their price tag at around £120m.

With Manchester City, Manchester United and Liverpool also keeping tabs on the 23-year-old, it seems like Rice could have plenty of other suitors too, which means Chelsea may well have to break their transfer record to secure his services.
