David Moyes has admitted that there is “a good chance” Declan Rice will leave West Ham this summer, with the club putting recruitment plans in place should the captain make a bumper move to a Premier League giant.
England star RIce is valued at north of £100m by West Ham but with one year left on his contract he is expected to depart the Hammers at the end of a difficult domestic campaign that could still end with a trophy in the Europa Conference League.
Arsenal are the leading contenders to secure the 24-year-old’s signature, with Manchester United among a host of others showing some interest. And while Moyes said he would love for the central midfielder to remain there is an acceptance that the attraction of Champions League clubs may prove irresistible.
