Chelsea fans want the Blues to make a move for Declan Rice following his latest performance for West Ham.
West Ham’s clash with Chelsea this week was billed as something of an audition for Rice ahead of an expected approach by Chelsea this summer, And Blues fans were quick to offer their opinion on the transfer target after scouting the player’s display against Kante and co.
Supporters were impressed, with one saying: “Declan Rice is always in the right place at the right time. Underrated and the hate he gets is unjustified.”
“Declan Rice future Chelsea FC captain” and “Declan Rice having a solid audition so far” were two other responses.
“Declan Rice is having a decent game against us again,” said another fan. One added: “Rice for Kante looking scrumptious” while another said “Seen the light. Declan Rice in, Kante out!”
While another is hoping Chelsea can move quickly in the transfer market and said: “Imagine if Declan Rice puts a real captain’s performance and impresses Lampard even more today. 50million done deal then.”
Rice is a very gifted player that is at a club that is holding his progress back, if he made that move to Chelsea, he could develop into a top-class defender, although he has been more happy playing in the centre of midfield.
