Chelsea midfield last season has also been bad as Frank Lampard is keen to strengthen all weak points in his team ahead of next season.
However, According to former Arsenal player Perry Groves, West Ham midfielder Declan Rice will improve Chelsea’s weak midfield.
“I think he does suit Chelsea because we said before, they look weak through the centre of their midfield area,” ex-Gunner Perry Groves told talkSPORT.
“It gives them that little bit of physical strength and he’s got better on the ball.
“He would be a player who would protect the two centre-halves. So that makes sense.
“The price is going to be more because obviously he’s English so that always puts the price up by another £10m, doesn’t it?” Groves added.
