In a recent interview, the West Ham midfielder suggested that he trusts himself to produce more in the coming years. Still just 23, he has the best years of his career ahead of him.

He acknowledged the incredible achievement of coming third in the FWA award and revealed that he could become even more capable as he grows older.   Having been linked to Chelsea, it remains to be seen if he will achieve it at Stamford Bridge or elsewhere.  

“I think it just comes with time, and as I get older, it will keep coming and coming, but I feel like you’re only starting to see the start of me. I feel like I’m going to keep pushing and getting better.”

Good news for Chelsea? 

Declan Rice has been linked with a comeback to Chelsea in recent times. Even though the 23-year-old midfielder hasn’t shown any sign of leaving his current club, his urge to gain success could influence him to take up a new challenge.

Rice ticks all the boxes of a top-notch holding midfielder. His confidence in the recent interviews suggests that he has a strong mindset. He has already spent time in the Chelsea academy; hence he knows the structure and damned very well. Therefore, he probably wouldn’t face many problems adapting to our team.

However, to have any claim over the exciting talent, our board has to put forward an offer first. It remains to be seen when the Blues board would take such an action.
