£62k-a-week star on the move as West Ham board told offers will be made
West Ham should race for heavy interest in Declan Rice this month – that’s according to former Hibernian striker Tam McManus
Over the past few seasons Declan Rice has developed into one of the best players at the club – and one of the most impressive midfielders that the Premier League has to offer.
He really is the leader at the Hammers and a man that they are hoping to keep at the club for as long as they are possibly too – but that has not stopped speculation regarding his long-term future at the club
Chelsea fc are continuing to be linked with a move for the England International – and it is believed that Rice has already made up his mind about leaving the Hammers after rejecting the clubs massive contract offer
But now McManus has opened up and told the Hammers that they should brace for bids for Rice this month – with more clubs than Chelsea interested.
“It would be suicidal, they can’t sell Rice this month,” McManus told Football Insider
“That would be the end of them. Rice represents so much more than the rest of the squad. He’s probably their best player and he is the club captain.
“Him leaving would be a sign of the club giving up. They would go down. It depends on what Rice wants to do. if he is desperate to leave then I’m sure a move could be sorted out.
“But if he is happy to wait until the summer then that’s up to him. I still think several clubs might try their luck, who needs a midfielder?
“Quite a lot of clubs do and with West Ham right down there, maybe it is worth throwing a bid in.
“Could you imagine if they sold him?
“That would absolutely be that for West Ham, it can’t happen.”
