Frank Lampard is keen to add more steel to his defence and it is claimed he wants to sign Rice and use him as a centre-back.

Lampard has failed to find a consistent central defensive partnership and has chopped and changed his defence throughout his time at Stamford Bridge.
Rice has been a reported target for Chelsea for some time and Lampard still hopes to land the versatile England international before the October 5 deadline.
As claimed on the Transfer Window Podcast, the Blues are willing to offer Rudiger and Loftus-Cheek in exchange for Rice.
Rudiger hasn’t featured for Chelsea this season and has been linked with both PSG and Tottenham.
Loftus-Cheek has also been given limited opportunities and has struggled when he has been utilised.
A departure for him though now seems more unlikely given Ross Barkley’s loan move to Aston Villa was confirmed.
