Chelsea manager, Frank Lampard, is eager to sign West Ham’s Declan Rice before the transfer window closes next week, the UK Sun reports.
The Blues boss wants to bring in a defensive midfielder and the club is set to make a bid of more than £40 million before the October 5 deadline.
Lampard is confident of signing the England international, as he believes that West Ham are desperate for funds.
Rice, who was released by Chelsea as a 14-year-old, has already made 100 Premier League appearances at the age of 21.
