It’s no secret that Declan Rice will be moving on from West Ham United this summer.
Club chairman, David Sullivan, admitted as much during a live talkSPORT interview (h/t talkSPORT.com), and the only real question to be answered is where he will end up.
Evidently, the Hammers talisman’s last act as a player for the club was to lift the Europa Conference League trophy to the heavens, surely marking him down as one of the best players in West Ham’s recent history.
Whilst there’ll clearly be a tinge of sadness from supporters of the club at seeing one of their own move to pastures new, they’ll arguably wish him well given what a sterling job he did for the club.
He always appeared to lead from the front and by example, and if the team didn’t win, it wasn’t for the want of trying from Rice.
The expectation for a while has been that the midfielder will sign for London rivals, Arsenal, and TeamTalk do note that a move is close, albeit they haven’t yet agreed on a fee.
All the while those negotiations carry on it offers hope to any other interested parties that there may be an opportunity to make an 11th hour bid and snatch Rice from under Arsenal’s noses.
The outlet suggest that Chelsea would likely go beyond the £100m for the player’s services, and that could make them a potential favourite given that such a price is more likely to appeal to West Ham than the £92m reported by The Telegraph (subscription required) that the Gunners apparently want to pay.
How many players move for mo ey id say most if you go to say man city id say money cause they have a settle pool if the sell it wont because he is a regular player how wants to move its cause he cant get a game thats not a player thats money no knocking it but when you retire no way you will be skint not unless your a gambler cokehead where there are plenty cause a yop player misses not playing so retiring to bench for 4 seasons just a waste
That comment makes no sence at all. The grammar is appalling.
Isn’t a shame that a club you are supposed to love from a boy don’t mean a thing when money is dangled in front of you So sod the club you love sod the supporters who have stood with you just walk away and hope you win a few trophies
That is why there is no loyalty
No Loyalty? It’s a short career the lad needs to make as much money as possible before he retires at 30 something. You are talking nonsense
He was offered £200k a week to sign a new contract,clearly money isn’t the issue as Arsenal have agreed £175k a week. Remind us all who’s talking nonsense again
He is a Chelsea fan!
And to be fair, he was Irish at the start of his international career, kissing the badge & everything! Lol🤣🤣🤣
He has done a good job for us & I wish him well where ever he goes, except when he plays us!
Moved Internationl country to up his career so moving clubs is similar to that.Its all about the money.Jack Grealish similar.
He supports Chelsea and was there before he was at West Ham.
They didn’t want him though …
Will Chelsea invent its own Champions League to attract him? It’s not all about money, right?
To be fair the club itself will opt for the highest bidder, he is an asset so if he goes (likely) get the best price!
If Rice moving for money that not good thing going to Arsenal but if he wants money & Trophies he should go to M.C but remember what happened to Phillios?
Trophy not guaranteed at Arsenal. They might not even make top 4. Teams around them with the exception of Newcastle all under performed. He’ll play 1 season CL and will win maybe FA cup at Arsenal. Should stay where he is. Its Man city or Europe if not
