Former Chelsea right-back Glen Johnson has urged the club to sign Declan Rice.

The West Ham United midfielder is a wanted man after a fine Euro 2020 with England.

Asked whether Chelsea should attempt to sign Rice from West Ham, Johnson

told BettingOdds.com: "I think they can do with him because of the legs.

"He's got a lot of energy, he charges around and he's super passionate so I think he would suit the club.

"As long as he leaves West Ham on good terms then they will still love him. I left West Ham on the right terms and my relationship with the Hammers fans is very good.

"I think he would suit this current Chelsea team. Imagine the legs of him and N'Golo Kante! I'd like to see that for sure."
