With the summer transfer window due to open in just under a fortnight’s time, the future of West Ham’s Declan Rice is likely to be one of the sagas that dominates the headlines.
It’s long been known that the Hammers captain wants to play Champions League football, and recently it appeared that the east London outfit reluctantly accepted, given that Sky Sports reported that West Ham would sell him to a Champions League club for £120m.
As might be expected, a number of clubs appear interested in the England international’s services, with both Arsenal and Man United named as potential playing destinations.
Were the Gunners to be successful in their pursuit Rice doesn’t have to move out of London, though Man United could have an ace up their sleeve as far as West Ham are concerned.
According to the Daily Mail, the Old Trafford outfit are potentially willing to offer players plus cash in order to get their man.
Scott McTominay’s name is mentioned, though if the Hammers can get one or two others, that makes a deal more preferable for obvious reasons.
If David Moyes is able to guide them to a Europa Conference League final victory too, that makes the club attractive to potential newcomers as victory in the competition allows them automatic entry into next year’s Europa League.
So interesting
Unclear where the story is…?
IF Man Utd are to sign Mason Mount, that might just swing it for Declan Rice.
There are probably half a dozen players Ten Hag would benefit from offering West Ham in exchange for Rice.
