Chelsea may drop their interest in West Ham midfielder Declan Rice if Frank Lampard loses his job, according to ExWHUemployee.

The insider claims that he has it on good authority that while Lampard is not in immediate danger of being sacked, if results don’t improve he could be out the door, and that could have a knock-on effect in terms of the Blues’ pursuit of the Hammers star:

“Lampard’s job is not massively under threat but potentially under threat if [their form] continues and he is a massive reason that Chelsea want Declan Rice. So, in a way, we’ve got to hope that Lampard, I mean, I know West Ham fans probably would anyway, but I think hope for Lampard to get the sack. Obviously, I can’t promise that the manager that comes into Chelsea then wouldn’t want Rice but, at the moment, Lampard is the main reason that there [is] such heavy interest from Chelsea.”

Chelsea spent over £220m on seven players in the summer but, despite the significant overhaul of the squad, they look just as inconsistent as last season. They were expected to be challenging near the top of the table but they currently sit eighth heading into this evening’s match versus Manchester United.

As things stand, it doesn’t appear that Chelsea’s stance has changed on Rice. It seems they will be still interested in signing the England international in January but, were there to be a change in management, it would dramatically alter the situation.
