Chelsea not giving up on Arsenal midfield target?

Chelsea have not given up on signing West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice ahead of Arsenal this summer.

The England international has spent his entire playing career with the Hammers but he is expected to move on soon.

David Moyes has acknowledged that he could be sold and reports claim that Arsenal are in pole position to land the midfielder.

The Gunners are back in the Champions League after six long years and they have apparently agreed personal terms with Rice.

Despite this, the Blues have not given up on re-signing their former graduate and are expected to make an approach this summer.

Mauricio Pochettino is keen to work with the 24-year-old and has urged the hierarchy to convince him to move to Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea won't be playing any form of European football next season but they are still expected to make plenty of big signings.

Aside from a defensive midfielder, the west London giants are also aiming to land a marquee striker. Victor Osimhen is the top target.
