Chelsea transfer news: Declan Rice deal being prepared

As the transfer deadline day is coming to a close, today is expected to be a day of outgoings at Chelsea. Tiemoue Bakayoko looks set to head out on loan to Napoli, while the arrival of Ben Chilwell could mean either of Emerson Palmieri or Marcos Alonso head for the exit door. Ruben Loftus-Cheek has also been linked with a loan move away as several clubs appear to be interested in the midfielder. 

West Ham United's Declan Rice has been a prime target all summer and Chelsea are reportedly preparing a deal to bring Rice to Stamford Bridge. However, the Hammers are digging in their heels as valuations skyrocket on transfer deadline day.

The German is waiting for a move away from London and, at 27, will be eager to find some regular playing time.

Reports also suggest Chelsea are interested in Nico Melamed but they aren't the only ones in this transfer window who have their eyes on the young midfielder, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich are all supposedly keen on landing the 19-year-old. Chelsea have also rejected a £70 million bid for Callum Hudson-Odoi from Bayern Munich.
