Chelsea close in on mammoth £80 million transfer signing after Midfielder makes decision that Blues fans will love
Chelsea transfer target Declan Rice is now reportedly represented by his father – a Stamford Bridge season ticket holder.
It is no secret in the media that Chelsea are massive fans of Rice and were interested in getting a transfer deal done in the summer transfer window, but Frank Lampard opted to work on other areas of the pitch and not make a move for the midfielder.
However, there is massive talk that Chelsea will make a move in the coming transfer window, believing that Rice would be open to the idea of making that step up and playing for one of the biggest clubs in the Premier League.
Now, amid the speculation, reports have suggested that Chelsea have closed the gap on the possible signing of the midfielder, after the Daily Star website revealed that the Hammers ace has now appointed his dad as his agent, who is a die hard Blues fan
However, they state any thoughts of that having a direct impact on any potential transfer as being ‘premature’ with West Ham’s stance remaining the same.
rice is in the headlines for all the right reasons as he is not allowing the transfer speculation to go to his head and stop his impressive performances for the Hammers, which is why he is such an in-demand player.
It is easy to see just why Chelsea are so keen to get the lad signed up, he could be one of the very best holding midfielders in the game. So it will be interesting to see if he is able to turn down a move to the Bridge if the Blues actually come calling for his services
