Boehly told midfielder ‘is perfect replacement’ for stalled Chelsea star

Chelsea have been urged to make a move to try and sign West Ham midfielder Declan Rice in the transfer window

Rice has developed into one of the very best midfielders in the Premier League and is a massive reason why the Hammers got so far in Europe and kept pace for that Champions League spot for next season

But after seeing the Hammers get knocked out of Europe  last week – it is widely believed that Rice will push for a move away from the Hammers – despite the fact there is a hefty price tag on his head.

Now amid all the speculation – pundit Richard Keys has come out and encouraged Chelsea to make a move and sign Rice, he explained: ‘The obvious one in midfield would be Rice. Kante has all but run himself to a stand still.

“Rice would be a perfect replacement. Would West Ham sell? Of course they will if the money is right. I’d give you £150m for him all day long. If Rice pushes hard it might not take that much.”

There has been so much speculation in the media about the future of Rice and we are all wondering if he will make that move away from the Hammers

But it all comes down to money and if clubs like we make the right transfer offer – Then the Hammers will be open to letting their star player leave

Rice is brilliant and we can easily see him slotting into that Tuchel midfield
