Declan Rice continues to spark rumors of a move to Chelsea. He was recently pictured with two Blues legends while on holiday.

There might be nothing to it but Declan Rice could be hinting at a potential move to Chelsea.

The Blues have been linked with the West Ham star for a while now but they have intensified of late.

Earlier this week, reports of Chelsea placing a 50m bid for Rice surfaced but was eventually dismissed as ‘false’.

However, a genuine fact is that Lampard has spoken highly of the 21-year-old lately. The Blues are reportedly in search of a center back and the Chelsea boss believes the West Ham star can do well in that position.

It’s not out of place considering Rice started out his career at Chelsea and grew up naturally as a center back. However, he has been deployed as a defensive midfielder for West Ham since he was released by the Blues in 2014.

Three days ago, the 21-year-old was spotted with Didier Drogba while on holiday, with many describing the Blues legend as an ‘agent’.

And earlier today, another Chelsea legend in John Terry further fueled those rumors. Rice was pictured with John Terry who took to share a picture on Instagram.

Quite interesting that Terry mentioned the West Ham star as a center back even though that isn’t his original position. Or was it a hint for his future spot at Chelsea?

To cap it all off, Rice is on holiday with Pulisic, Tomori, Tammy Abraham, and Mason Mount. All of whom are Chelsea players.

Then again, there might be nothing to it but the West Ham star seems to have dropped lots of hint he could join Chelsea this summer.
