Jude Bellingham Twitter picture could be bad news for Chelsea and West Ham regarding their future transfer plans.

Chelsea have been heavily linked with a move to sign the 19-year-old Borussia Dortmund star in the summer of 2023. In fact, Blues owner Todd Boehly is allegedly ‘obsessed’ with signing the England international midfielder (The Sun).

The problem for Chelsea is that Liverpool are thought to be favourites to sign Bellingham (ESPN).

Now, should Chelsea miss out on the midfielder to Liverpool, West Ham star Declan Rice would then be one of their top targets, according to a report from The Express.

And that is clearly bad news for the Hammers…

If the Blues boss Graham Potter misses out on bringing Bellingham to Stamford Bridge, it would be a massive blow for them.

It wouldn’t be very good news for us either, as that would mean that Declan Rice then becomes their number one transfer target.

Trent Alexander-Arnold posted a picture on his official Twitter account yesterday:

The Liverpool star could easily be tapping Bellingham up there, and telling him just how great life is at Anfield under Jurgen Klopp.

Losing Declan Rice in the summer of 2023 actually doesn’t bear thinking about.

West Ham manager David Moyes will face a huge rebuild at the London Stadium, if the 23-year-old does leave for pastures new next year.

And after the Jude Bellingham Twitter post yesterday, Rice may well now be right in the crosshairs of Chelsea.
