Declan Rice was naturally coy on his future when speaking to media after West Ham’s Europa Conference League success last week, until his chairman gave the inevitable game away.
Asked whether the final was the Hammers captain’s final match for the club, David Sullivan said: “I think it has to be.” It’s a line many have used when speaking about Harry Kane’s potential exit this summer.
In another universe, Daniel Levy may be equally as open as Sullivan, but not in this one. That said, Manchester United have already learned his intentions for Kane - forget about a transfer.
