FOOTBALL Manchester United's David De Gea, five others with two or more English Premier League golden gloves
Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea made 16 clean sheets for the 2022/23 campaign when they beat Wolves on Saturday at Old Trafford.
With reports linking the likes of Mateo Kovacic, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, and Conor Gallagher away from the club, the Blues are expected to make a midfield signing and Rice is one of the names on top of the list following Pochettino's signing off.
The Hammers are expected to soften their stance on Rice, changing their previous "not for sale" position, with the player entering the final years of his contract.
Chelsea will, however, have to battle the Gunners for the signing of their former academy man, as Mikel Arteta's side have registered a long-term interest in Rice, and at this point in time, they lead the race for his signature.
