Martin Keown has tipped Flynn Downes to replace Declan Rice at West Ham.
Downes hasn’t featured too much in the Premier League for West Ham, but he was impressive during their win over Anderlecht on Thursday.
Now, BT Sport pundit has tipped Downes to be Rice’s replacement if he was to leave the club.
“He’s been on the England scene. So he’s on the radar, he’s got to make that next step. Rice has improved under Moyes, Downes looks like a similar player. Maybe he replaces Rice. West Ham fans won’t want to hear me say that,” said Keown.
Keown has also tipped Downes to be on the radar for the England senior squad.
You’re right Martin we don’t want to hear that.
Maybe, just maybe, with the addition of Aguerd, Scamacca, Downs, Paqueta etc. Rice may want to stay.
The only guarantee of trophies is City, so he might weigh up that he has as good a chance at West Ham as anywhere else.
Doesn’t suit the narrative from dinosaurs like you Martin scrabbling to assert the right of the ‘big six’ to scoop up all the best players.
That ship has sailed with The likes of West Ham & Newcastle now kicking the door to that cosy little club right off its hinges
The likes of wet spam and Newcastle kicking down the door to the cosy club ! 😂 do me a favour pease, until last week you were joint bottom of the table and you’ve just beaten relegated fulham ffs 😂
You’ll finish at best in a Europa conference place again ! And sell rice at the end of the season, renting a council ground just don’t cut the mustard when you aspire to be something above average !
