Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel is reportedly a huge admirer of West Ham midfielder Declan Rice.
According to The Athletic via Daily Express, West Ham are demanding £100million for the 22 year old midfielder, a fee that could be prohibitive even for Chelsea.
The Blues are reportedly looking to add a midfield anchor who can also play as a centre-half in a back-three, and Tuchel believes that Rice fits the mould perfectly.
Rice was a key player for England during the Euro 2020, playing all seven of England’s matches as the Three Lions reached the final.
