Report: Chelsea could offer Fikayo Tomori as part of the deal to sign West Ham midfielder Declan Rice

Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing Declan Rice this summer from Premier League rivals West Ham United.

The Blues are looking to bolster their defence this summer, and Frank Lampard wants Rice to return back to his old club.

The 21-year-old is a highly-rated central midfielder, and he is arguably one of the best young talents in the country. However, Lampard wants him to operate as a central defender for Chelsea.

Rice has a contract at West Ham till 2024. If the Hammers manage to avoid relegation this season, then Chelsea would have to pay a massive transfer fee to sign Dice.
