​Chelsea view Borussia Dortmund ace Bellingham as Rice alternative

Chelsea are keeping tabs on Borussia Dortmund youngster Jude Bellingham.

The Blues have a well documented interest in West Ham United defensive midfielder Declan Rice.

But his price may mean any potential move is prohibitive.

According to Eurosport, Chelsea have an eye on the 19-year-old Bellingham.

West Ham are currently asking for over £100m for Rice.

The England midfielder did his transfer value no harm after an excellent Euro 2020 campaign.

Bellingham is viewed as a cheaper alternative, although Chelsea would still have to part with a substantial fee to sign the former Birmingham City man.
