According to The Sun. Chelsea are ready to offer West Ham a swap deal for Declan Rice including Ross Barkley and Michy Batshuayi.
The Blues are keen to be reunited with the Hammers star but the East Londoners are reportedly not interested in taking on the rarely used pair.
Rice, 21, came through Chelsea’s academy but was released aged 14 when he signed for the Hammers.
But having been the stand out performer for West Ham this season, Chelsea are ready to sign him again and offer two of their own players in return, according to the Times.
Barkley and Batshuayi have played peripheral roles under Frank Lampard and seem destined to leave Stamford Bridge this summer regardless.
But the Blues will reportedly offer them to their London rivals in a bid to reduce the sizeable cash amount they would be forced to cough up in a regular transfer for Rice.
