Chelsea are ready to offer both Antonio Rudiger and Ruben Loftus-Cheek to West Ham in order to land Declan Rice, according to the Transfer Window podcast.

It is no secret that we are now looking to offload a number of players before the end of the transfer window in order to make some more transfer funds available, with Rudiger and Loftus-Cheek on the chopping board.

And with the latest reports suggesting that  owner Roman Abramovic will sanction the signing of Declan Rice, the transfer podcast have now claimed that the club will allow both Rudiger and Loftus-Cheek to leave, with Tottenham a club linked with the pair

Ian McGarry said on Sky Sports: “It’s our information that Antonio Rudiger, who has been the main casualty of the early season in terms of losing his place, has been offered to West Ham United as part of the deal to bring Rice to Stamford Bridge.

“Rudiger, the Germany international, is available [elsewhere] on loan.

“Chelsea are okay about selling him permanently, however Rudiger himself is thought to be a little bit indecisive about moving across London. He would prefer instead to stay for a year and prove himself.

“There’s another player involved in this proposal to West Ham, and that’s the England international midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

“He’s in a similar situation to Rudiger in that he’s not in Lampard’s plans, and he would prefer to be playing football in a 12 month period which will culminate in Euro 2020.”

Loftus-Cheek and Rudiger are two very good Premier League players, so it will be interesting to see just where the players end up as there are a few clubs interested in getting deals done.

And Rice would be more than welcome right?
