Declan Rice is Frank Lampard’s number one target

Chelsea are soon looking to complete the signing of Rennes goalkeeper, Edouard Mendy.

The 28-year old is close to joining Chelsea in a deal worth around £18 million, according to The Telegraph.

Mendy could soon be confirmed as Chelsea are on the brink of making yet another signing.

But he may not signal the end of the spending at the club during this window, we could see one more arrival before the window closes.

West Ham midfielder Declan Rice is Frank Lampard’s number one target as he looks at bringing in another defensive midfielder to complete the mini squad rebuild, according to the same report from The Telegraph.

The England international has been largely talked about as a Chelsea target for sometime now, but it always had a feel of a deal that might need to wait.

But as the talks heat up, it’s starting to take a feel that it could well happen this window now.
