Jorginho and N’Golo Kante face uncertain futures at Chelsea. The pair are both out of contract at the end of the season as it stands, so a new midfielder could be a priority for Graham Potter in the next 12 months.

Rice, just 23 years old, would provide Chelsea with a long-term solution to their midfielder, as well as an option for the present. Rice is capable of playing a key role for Chelsea, but still has longevity in terms of being in the early stages of his career.
