Chelsea are planning an attempt to bring back West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice.
Sky Sports says Blues boss Frank Lampard is on the hunt for a defensive midfielder this summer.
And the English tactician has apparently earmarked Rice as the perfect man to protect Chelsea's backline next season.
Rice spent eight years coming up through the Blues' academy and remains best pals with Mason Mount.
But he was released in 2014 and ended up with rivals West Ham.
Rice has since become one of the Premier League's top anchormen and is also a regular for Gareth Southgate's Three Lions.
