Chelsea told to get rid of Kante and bring in £80 million rated upgrade
Chelsea have been told they should sell N’Golo Kante and sign Declan Rice this summer transfer window
With Frank Lampard looking to build a side that is more than capable of challenging for that Premier League title next season, Roman Abramovic has backed the club legend financially in the players that he wants to bring to the club.
Rice has become one of the best holding midfielders in the top-flight, and his performances have meant that he is now a full England International, and is valued at around the £80 million mark.
Now, Jamie O’Hara has urged the club to get rid of Kante this transfer window and bring in the West Ham midfielder, as he would be an upgrade on the Frenchman.
“If they have the opportunity to bring in Declan Rice now and get rid of N’Golo Kante, it has to happen,” he said on TalkSport
“He is not the finished article but he is 21 years of age, he is already playing for England and he is arguably the best defensive midfielder England have got.
“He has not done what N’Golo Kante has done but, in my mind, he is going to be a better player and he gives more to the team in terms of the way Chelsea want to play.
“He receives it on the half turn, he wants to play it forward, like Michael Carrick. For me, he is the Michael Carrick that Manchester United had when they dominated.
“Declan Rice can go to Chelsea and be the Michael Carrick of that era.”
