Chelsea sales could be bad news for West Ham

The Daily Star say Frank Lampard determined to make one last push for West Ham ace Declan Rice, which could allow Jorginho to leave Stamford Bridge and join London rivals Arsenal. Having already spent close to £230million this summer, though, Lampard may be forced to cash in on players before submitting an offer for Rice who the tabloid says would cost £73m.

The Daily Express says N’Golo Kante is reportedly ready to leave Chelsea in the final two weeks of the window. Former Blues boss Antonio Conte is keen to bring the Frenchman to Inter.

The sale of either player who proves bad news for West Ham and could be the catalyst for a late bid for Rice by Chelsea.

West Ham insists Rice is not for sale and there have been no enquiries or bids to date.

According to Italian journalist Nicolo Schira, the 21-year-old Hammers has already agreed on personal terms for a five-year contract with Chelsea ahead of a potential switch but that is strongly denied by sources close to the player.
