Chelsea could increase its summer spending to more than £ 250 million with the club poised to push for the signing of West Ham’s Declan Rice.
Frank Lampard has spent a lot of money this summer, creating an impressive revamped team with the arrivals of Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech and Ben Chilwell totaling £ 131.3 million.

Will Rice be the next player to join Frank Lampard’s Chelsea revolution?
The Blues are also set to confirm the signing of German wonder boy Kai Havertz in the coming days on a deal that could be worth around £ 90 million, while Thiago Silva and Malang Sarr have teamed up on free transfers.
And the manager doesn’t plan to stop there, with Rice being next on his wanted list.
According to The Sun, West Ham values rice at 80 million pounds.
Chelsea is said to be preparing an offer, but significantly lower than the Hammers’ asking price.
Leicester City had demanded £ 70 million from England’s left-back Chilwell before finally reaching a £ 50 million deal, and the Blues hope they can get a similar discount at Rice.
Rice is a key figure in David Moyes’ team, a versatile star who can play both defense and midfield and is a proven leader on the field, having worn the captain’s armband in place of Mark Noble numerous times.

But the Hammers boss is desperate to improve his team after a bad season and knows he must sell before he can buy.
Moyes is reportedly keen to ditch Felipe Anderson and Manuel Lanzini to raise some cash for new signings.
However, there is limited interest in the two underperforming forwards, and there is a feeling that profiting from Rice may be your only option.
Like Moyes, Lampard rates Rice highly and believes the youngster will thrive alongside the experienced Thiago Silva on the Blues’ bottom line.
