Declan Rice showed his commitment to the West Ham cause this season by turning up to watch the weekend friendly with Fulham.
And the Irons want the England midfielder to return to action for the Boxing Day trip to Arsenal.
Rice has rejected bids by the East London club to extend a contract which expires in June 2024. And the 23-year-old dropped a huge hint in Qatar that he will look to leave in the summer when he said: “I see my friends here who are playing Champions League and for big trophies. You only get one career.”
