EPL: He’s a monster – Leboeuf advises Chelsea to sign England World Cup star

Chelsea legend Frank Leboeuf has advised his former club to sign England World Cup star Declan Rice this summer.

Leboeuf said that Rice is physically a monster in football, adding that the West Ham captain is a fantastic player.

Rice is keen to leave West Ham United this upcoming summer transfer window and he has been heavily linked with a number of top clubs, including Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool.

“Chelsea must try to sign Declan Rice,” Leboeuf wrote in a column on Si & Dan Talk Chelsea.

“People have the right to make mistakes, and Chelsea made a mistake when they got rid of him when he was younger.

“Rice is a fantastic player; he’s strong, clever, technically good, physically a monster, and tactically he can be very useful.

“It would be a big change if Chelsea signed him because, for the first time in a long time, we would have someone very strong in the middle of the park.”
