Chelsea and Arsenal have been told to steer away from paying a British record fee to sign West Ham star Declan Rice. The England midfielder has been the subject of severe interest from the two London clubs ahead of one of the busiest transfer sagas of the summer.
Rice has been one of the Hammers' star assets for some years now after breaking through the club's academy and becoming a first team regular. Mark Noble's retirement in the summer has carved the way for Rice to take more responsibility in David Moyes' side with the captains armband.
The midfielder has hinted at his desire to play in the Champions League at some point in his career and with West Ham currently flirting with the relegation zone this season, a move looks destined to come to fruition ahead of the 2023/24 season.
