David Moyes no offers have been received for Declan Rice amidst Chelsea interest

Chelsea have been heavily linked with a move to bring back former academy prospect Declan Rice to Stamford Bridge.

The Blues defence has had more holes than a sinking boat prompting Frank Lampard to strengthen it this summer. Likened to John Terry, the Hammers’ star is seen as the ideal man to help bring about a transformation.

However, as reported by the Evening Standard, West Ham manager David Moyes has confirmed that no bid has been made for the talented 21-year-old.

Released by Chelsea as a 14-year-old, Rice has thrived after making the move to West Ham. A defensive midfielder, who can also play as a centre-back, he is one of England’s most promising talents.

A commanding defender, Rice brings excellent leadership and encourages communication at the back. Qualities that the Blues desperately require.

According to the Daily Mail, he will cost around £65m. A fee the Blues are keen to offset at least in part by parting ways with Jorginho.

The Italian has been linked with a move to Juventus. Although his agent denied there has been any contact, he has left the door open for a potential move.
