JAKARTA - West Ham United's mainstay player, Declan Rice, is now a hunt for the English Premier League giant. The Chelsea academy graduate is a commodity who has an attraction in the transfer market for players in January.
There are three giant clubs who are reportedly interested in bringing the England international. There are Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea.
However, reportedly, Chelsea are in pole position to sign Declan Rice, according to a report from The Athletic page.
Rice has refused to extend his contract with West Ham. That means the Hammers captain will have free transfers next summer.
The club certainly doesn't want to lose the mainstay player in vain. They could release him in January at a reasonable price.
Rice himself has stated that he really wants to compete in the Champions League. He can make that happen if he joins Chelsea or City.
"One hundred percent, I want to play in the Champions League. Over the last two or three years, I've said that," Rice said.
"I've played consistently well for my club and I feel really want to go forward again. I see my friends here playing in the Champions League and winning big trophies," Rice continued.
However, MU will not just give up. Likewise with City who are ready to work hard to beat Chelsea for the young player who is considered the most modern midfielder in England.
