Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is a fan of West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice and will recommend him to director Marina Granovskaia ahead of the summer transfer window, according to The Telegraph.
Former Blues boss Frank Lampard wanted the 22-year-old, and his successor is now looking to revive the club’s interest in the Hammers star.
The London Stadium outfit now value Rice at around £90 million, with Manchester City and Manchester United also interested in snapping him up.
However, Chelsea would not meet their asking price and could use £40m-rated Tammy Abraham as a makeweight.
