West Ham: Chelsea owners ‘did all they could’ to sign Declan Rice
By Emilio Galantini
Chelsea’s owners ‘did all they could’ to sign West Ham United star Declan Rice over the summer transfer window, according to journalist Simon Phillips.
The Lowdown: West Ham overhaul…
It was quite a busy summer for David Moyes and the east London club as they welcomed a plethora of major signings through the door at Rush Green, including Brazil international Lucas Paqueta in a club-record deal from Lyon.
Along with the South American, Alphonse Areola, Nayef Aguerd, Flynn Downes, Gianluca Scamacca, Maxwel Cornet, Thilo Kehrer, Emerson put pen to paper on permanent moves to the Premier League club.
However, incomings weren’t the only interesting aspect of West Ham’s transfer business, with links surrounding the future of Rice amid Chelsea’s long-standing interest.
The Latest: Chelsea ‘did all they could’ to sign Rice…
Speaking to GiveMeSport, Phillips has now made an interesting claim on the saga.
He explains that Chelsea’s owners personally travelled to the London Stadium in their bid to negotiate a deal for Rice, but it didn’t come to fruition.
Phillips stated of the 23-year-old: “The owners did all they could to try and get him. They went to West Ham, they had conversations about him and I was told that it even went as far as structuring the payments of the deal.”
The Verdict: Warning?
This development perhaps comes as a slight warning for Moyes and West Ham.
Rice’s current contract expires in 2024, and while they have the option to extend it by a further year, the Hammers will need to start becoming competitive in showing to the England star that they can challenge for silverware and Champions League football.
Hailed as ‘sensational’ by members of the media, the Irons will want to do all they can to keep hold of their club captain, who has been their second-highest rated player of a difficult season so far (as per WhoScored).

West Ham United Summer Transfer Business Review: Did Moyes Make The Right Calls?
West Ham United decided to spend a lot of money during the recently concluded summer transfer window as they looked to strengthen their squad for this Premier League campaign. The Hammers made some notable acquisitions in the form of Lucas Paqueta, Gianluca Scamacca, Nayef Aguerd, Maxwel Cornet, Emerson and Thilo Kehrer.
West Ham’s Major Summer Signings Reviewed
Lucas Paqueta
The Brazilian attacker arrived from Olympique Lyonnais in a whopping £38.66m deal recently. Paqueta has already shown flashes of what he is capable of during his short stay at West Ham. If David Moyes can get the best out of him, he could be a decent signing for them in the future.
Gianluca Scamacca
West Ham were in dire need of a new forward last season. Moyes decided to address that issue by recruiting Scamacca for £32.40m from Sassuolo this summer. He is good enough to rival Michail Antonio for a regular starting place at the London Stadium. If the Italian can adapt to the Premier League well, he could turn out to be a good acquisition for West Ham despite his hefty price tag.
Nayef Aguerd
The Hammers focused on strengthening their defence by signing Aguerd from Stade Rennes for £31.50m in the off-season. He is capable of making a real impact at the East London club when he returns from his injury. However, the fee West Ham paid for the defender is definitely a bit on the higher side during this summer transfer period.
Maxwel Cornet
Cornet arrived from Burnley in a deal believed to be around £18.63m. He will give Moyes more options in the final third and could help West Ham cope well in Europe. Thus, West Ham have done well to bag him for such a fee this summer.
Emerson
The London outfit paid Chelsea £13.86m to sign Emerson. He is an experienced left-back who could prove himself to be a capable member of Moyes’ squad this season.
Thilo Kehrer
The £10.80m-signing from Paris Saint-Germain has already made a real impact at the London Stadium. He has definitely strengthened West Ham’s backline and seems like a shrewd buy by the London club in the off-season.
West Ham have also signed Flynn Downes from Swansea City and Alphonse Areola from Paris Saint-Germain this summer.
West Ham United’s Notable Summer Exits
Issa Diop – Fulham for £16.02m
Andriy Yarmolenko – Al-Ain FC on a free transfer
Ryan Fredericks – Bournemouth on a free transfer
Mark Noble – Retired
Arthur Masuaku – Besiktas on loan
Did West Ham United Boss David Moyes Make The Right Calls With Regards To His Transfer Dealings?
Moyes has focused mostly on improving his frontline with the signings of Scamacca, Paqueta and Cornet. There are some question marks over Aguerd and what he would bring after he returns from his injury but Kehrer already seems like a great acquisition for them.
