Declan Rice has admitted that his future will be decided by those in the board room amid strong summer transfer interest from Arsenal. The West Ham captain guided his team to Europa Conference League glory on Wednesday evening in what could be his final game for the club with the Hammers making their stance on selling the 24-year-old abundantly clear.
football.london have reported since February that Rice is the Gunners' main target for the upcoming summer window and that fact still remains with just under a week left until the trading period begins. No official proposals or bids have been sent from north London out of respect for West Ham's final game of the season coming over 10 days after the conclusion of the Premier League.
That final clash of the 2022/23 campaign came on Wednesday evening where a late Jarrod Bowen goal handed West Ham their first European trophy in 58 years. With that fixture now in the rear-view mirror, attention turns to Rice's future and the midfielder has since delivered his stance on the next few months when speaking to the Mirror in Prague after the final.
