John Terry admits he’d like to see West Ham midfielder Declan Rice return to Chelsea.
Terry is trying his best to steer Rice’s head back towards West London, especially with the Hammers vice-captain coming from a Chelsea-supporting family.
JT, now working inside the Chelsea academy, told Astro SuperSport: “I’m going to get in trouble here for what I say!
“You know what, Dec obviously loves Chelsea – I think everyone knows that.
“I think the rejection he had from Chelsea has really helped his career actually. What he’s done at West Ham is pretty much incredible.
“We saw in the FA Cup [against Kidderminster Harriers in February] when he came on and scored, and again grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck.
“I think from Dec’s side of things, I think he’s given everything to West Ham.
“And for me, looking from the outside, unless West Ham go and make a big statement in the summer and go and spend £100million-plus and say, ‘We want to keep Dec and we want to bring in top players like you,’ then I think he’s got a decision to make.
“I think if West Ham go and spend huge amounts of money, bring in top players, then I think it’s difficult for him to walk away.”
