Is Rice leaving Hammers?

ARSENAL target Declan Rice has admitted that he is not focused on any “noise and speculation” and that his mind is solely on next week’s Europa Conference League final.

Rice is one of the most sought-after young midfielders in world football and his next move is a subject of much speculation, with a number of top clubs very much interested in a deal for the player.

Rice’s current deal with the Irons runs until the summer of 2024 and the club have the option of another 12 months. But the summer window offers West Ham the last realistic chance of securing a mammoth fee – of £100million-plus – for their prize asset –

Despite many links with Chelsea – it is ARSENAL who are expected to complete the signing of Declan Rice in the coming months and now it seems that a move is edging closer.

The Football Insider has claimed that Rice has told Friends that he has played his last League game for the Hammers.

WEST HAM take on Fiorentina in next week’s final in Prague, with the Hammers needing a win to secure a Europa League spot next season, and Rice has admitted that he is not listening to the noise.

“I’ve not really focused on any of that, to be honest,” said Rice when asked about a summer move by Sky Sports

“My main focus this season, from the World Cup onwards, has been getting us out of a relegation battle and, of course, having one eye on winning this trophy.

“Everything else is just noise and speculation. Obviously, I can’t help that, it comes with playing. But my main focus is playing for West Ham and winning this final.

‘My heart’s set on that, doing it for the club, for my family, for the fans and that’s my only focus. I want to make them all very happy and my focus is on doing that.”
