A report in the Daily Express that Chelsea recently offered two players in Declan Rice swap but West Ham reject bid and demand £80m is rubbish.

This is an old story recycled by the tabloid and there has been no offer to reject.

A report by the Daily Mail back in July claims Chelsea are willing to offer West Ham both Ross Barkley and Michy Batshuayi in a swap deal for Declan Rice this summer.

At the time Club insiders have dismissed the report repeating that Declan Rice is not for sale or swap and West Ham have no interest in Ross Barkley and/or Michy Batshuayi.

Barkley and Batshuayi who has rejected previous moves to the Hammers are not the type of player Moyes is looking to recruit.

Insiders continue to insist there has been no formal approach for their star player to date either in a form of an enquiry or a bid and they would reject one if it was received from Chelsea or anyone else.
