Here we go again with the Declan Rice sage taking a very familiar turn!
For weeks we have been reading that Arsenal are close to sealing a deal whilst Claret and Hugh has been regularly told and reported that no club has made an inquiry and certainly no offer.
That would be more acceptable had Frank Lampard or Thomas Tuchel actually made a bid but it simply didn’t happen.
Whether Graham Potter has an interest remains very much to be seen but our information remains the same from a key London Stadium source that there have been no inquiries or bids made from anywhere.
Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg took to Twitter to seemingly confirm Chelsea’s interest saying: He said: “Chelsea is definitely in the race and highly interested – confirmed! He’s one of the top candidates in order to strengthen the defensive midfield.”
Graham Potter’s side already splashed out a whopping £107million on Enzo Fernandez in January to shore up their midfield.
