Long-term Chelsea target and West Ham icon Declan Rice has dropped a big transfer hint that he will remain in east London with his rallying call after the Hammers' Europa League semi-final defeat to Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt.
Rice, 23, has been a big reason for just how David Moyes' side nearly made history in Europe but it was Aaron Cresswell's rash moment that sent the east Londoners packing at the last hurdle. Colombian international and friend of Liverpool Luis Diaz, Rafael Santos Borre scored the only goal of the contest midway through the first half after the Hammers' number 3 was sent off nine minutes prior for denying a goalscoring opportunity.
Eintracht Frankfurt held on to set up a meeting with Rangers after the current Scottish Champions knocked out RB Leipzig in the other semi-final to set up this grand piece event in Seville. For West Ham though, it's back to reality after what has been a dream run for a side who hopes to keep their European status alive domestically with a strong finish to the 2021/22 Premier League season.
