Chelsea plan to offer West Ham a swap deal for Declan Rice including Ross Barkley and Michy Batshuayi, according to reports.

The Blues are keen to be reunited with the Hammers star but the East Londoners are reportedly not interested in taking on the rarely used pair.

Rice, 21, came through Chelsea’s academy but was released aged 14 when he signed for the Hammers.

But having been the stand out performer for West Ham this season, his old club will move to sign him again and offer two of their own players in return, according to the Times.

Barkley and Batshuayi have played peripheral roles under Frank Lampard and seem destined to leave Stamford Bridge this summer regardless.
