Lampard urges Chelsea board to win the race for rising PL star – £75m would be enough

Frank Lampard urges Chelsea board to beat Man Utd and sign Declan Rice

According to a report by The Metro, Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has urged the Chelsea board to sign West Ham United ace Declan Rice.

The young midfielder, who is also a target for Manchester United (h/t The Metro), was incidentally yet another one who got away for us.

In addition to the likes of Kevin De Bruyne and Mohamed Salah – both of whom left us as very young players – Rice is another name added to the list.

The West Ham player has been phenomenal in the English top-flight since breaking into the first-team. At a time when the Hammers were struggling to replace an ageing midfield unit, Rice burst onto the scene and established himself as a force to reckon with.

Although he started his career as a centre-back, the 21-year-old is a full-blown defensive midfielder right now.

The Metro adds that a fee of about £75m would be enough to lure him to Stamford Bridge but that would depend on whether or not West Ham are able to retain their Premier League status.

As of now, all footballing action has been suspended until the end of April but signing Rice would be a smart move.
