In recent weeks, Chelsea have been linked with a move for West Ham midfielder Declan Rice.
Rice, who is a close friend of Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount, was released by the Chelsea academy in 2014 after he was deemed not good enough.
He joined the West Ham academy after being released by the Chelsea academy and is now an England international.
Chelsea boss Frank Lampard reportedly wants the 21 year old in his squad and according to Hugh Southon, West Ham have placed an £80m price tag on the 21-year-old.
Rice is regarded as one of the best holding midfielders in the Premier League. He has played 100 games for West Ham, scoring 2 goals and providing 3 assists.
