West Ham United’s highly sought after midfielder Declan Rice may just be Chelsea player this summer.
According to Journalist Graeme Bailey Chelsea are ahead of Arsenal in the race to sign Rice this summer, adding that the Blues would be open to paying £120 million to secure the signing, while the Gunners would be reluctant.
Rice has played his final match for West Ham United, as confirmed by owner David Sullivan. He conceded that they have an agreement with the player to let him leave in the summer for a good offer.
Bailey was on The Fully Loaded Transfer Show when he claimed that Arsenal were set to face tough competition from Chelsea.
He said, “West Ham don’t have to let him go, don’t be surprised here guys if West Ham dig their heels in and go look it is £100m plus £20m in add-ons. It remains to be seen who is going to pay that.
“With Rice, I think Chelsea would pay it, I think they probably will and that’s where Chelsea may win out, they may be the last man standing.”
