Chelsea's priorities: Declan Rice and Badiashile

The English club are ninth in the Premier League despite the fact that their main goal was to fight for the top two places. As a result, Chelsea are looking to bring in new players.

According to 'The Athletic', Potter's side are targeting two new players for their squad: West Ham midfielder Declan Rice and Monaco defender Benoit Badiashile.

Chelsea have repeatedly tried to sign the midfielder, but he decided to stay with his current club. His contract with them expires in mid-2024.

Nevertheless, this is the first time Chelsea have been interested in the French player. In addition, his contract with Monaco expires at the end of the 2023-24 campaign.
