Frank Lampard is having a hard time maintaining his hot-seat at the Stamford Bridge dugout. But as per sources he still has the backing of the board as Chelsea set to pursue their long-eyed target Declan Rice.

The 22-year-old midfielder is one of the finest in his position. And Chelsea desperately needs a player of his profile. In recent times, the Chelsea team lacked stability in their midfield. And Rice is certainly one kind of player who can fix that. Lampard rates his quite high according to sources.

The West Ham man has been fantastic up till now for the Hammers. David Moyes has ignited a spark in this West Ham side. And Rice has been his anchorman in front of the backline. The England international has gathered a lot of experience in his West Ham stint. Naturally, he is wanted by the blues. As per Lampard’s setup, he can be a real asset for him.

The recent price drop can be alarming for Chelsea as clubs like Manchester United and Liverpool will also jump in the race to sign him. Although, there have been reports of Lampard playing him as center-half. But nothing is concretely related to it. With N’golo Kante receding, Rice can be a great addition in that role.

Both Liverpool and Manchester United may become a tough competition for Chelsea. But there can be an unexpected boost for Chelsea. Rice’s father has been a lifelong Chelsea supporter and he also holds a season ticket at the Stamford Bridge. He has mentioned that his son can change his playing career in the upcoming transfer window.
