Chelsea's pursuit of Declan Rice given a huge boost

Chelsea's pursuit of West Ham ace Declan Rice has been given a huge boost after the midfielder revealed that he wants to remain in London.

A host of Prem clubs including the Blues' rivals Man United have been linked with a move for Rice this summer.

But the in-demand centre-mid would prefer to stay close to his London roots if he does decide to leave West Ham.

And Chelsea could be Rice's first pick as he also revealed that he grew up supporting the Blues in a chat with Gary Neville in Kingston-upon-Thames, situated in South-West London.

Neville asked the England star: “Do you still have a house round here?

And Rice responded: “Yeah, I’m here all the time, I’ve always wanted to stay close to this place, I feel like I don’t want to lose my roots.”

Declan prefers Roy Keane over Patrick Vieira

West Ham star Declan Rice has revealed that he prefers Roy Keane over Patrick Vieira as a football player.

Ex-Man United ace Keane and former Arsenal midfielder Vieira were sworn enemies on the pitch.

But Rice admitted that Keane was the one that he watched more out of the pair when he was growing up.

When asked by Gary Neville who his favourite was on the Overlap show, Rice said: “I just feel like I’ve probably watched him more as a player.

“Even though I was a kid when he was playing or coming towards the end of his career in terms of clips, how he played and what he was like as a captain.”

Declan Rice to leave West Ham

Declan Rice is almost certain to leave and West Ham seem to have 'given up' on finishing in the top four this season.

That's the damning verdict of ex-Aston Villa and England star Gabby Agbonlahor.

Man United have a long-held interest in Hammers skipper Rice, who has made his name as regular for his country in recent years.

And Agbonlahor - now working as a TalkSPORT pundit - reckons the lure of Champions League football is going to be too much for Rice to turn down after West Ham failed to bring in reinforcements this winter.

He said: “Spurs aren’t the finished article, Arsenal have lost players, they’re looking a bit shaky. Manchester United have let players go and looking a bit shaky as well.

“It was the perfect time for West Ham to finally push that little bit more with a few more players. A defender, a midfielder and striker to go and get top four.

“As much as people might think players are loyal and love it here. Declan Rice, like I said a few months ago, will see his England teammates play in the Champions League and might be playing Champions League finals this season.

“How long is that going to go on where he’s going to be happy with the Europa League.

“I think Declan Rice will be looking to go in the summer.”
