London, Nov 1: Chelsea are weighing up a Summer swoop for West Ham teenage sensation Declan Rice after his rejection of a new contract proposal from the side, according to reports.
Rice spent seven years at the Blue’s academy but was released by them as a 14-year-old. Since then the 19-year-old young midfielder has slowly established himself through the Hammers academy ranks and got his long-awaited Hammers debut last season.
Some talents get recognised too late. #Chelsea let go of Declan Rice who was in the academy when he was 14 years old. Now, 5 years after, the Irish centre-back is in starting XI at West Ham. Daily Star reports that The Blues are considering resigning the defender. #CFC pic.twitter.com/k8DXLUGGZw
