Declan Rice will still command a figure upwards of £100million next summer, a former Premier League goalkeeper has said.
The West Ham United captain has been subject to interest from some of the biggest clubs in the Premier League, with Chelsea and Manchester United among some of his suitors.
West Ham have rebuffed any rumours] they are willing to move on from their academy graduate, with manager David Moyes and the club slapping a price tag of upwards of £150m on the England international.

Rice and his team-mates have started the domestic campaign in poor fashion, losing five of the opening seven games and only managing four points from the other two.
But with a World Cup to come and another season of European football underneath his belt, ex-England international and Tottenham Hotspur shotstopper Paul Robinson believes that his value is still going up due to his age and representing the Three Lions in Qatar.
When asked if Rice's current form would affect his value, Robinson told Football Insider: “I don’t think so. Age is on his side so I think West Ham can still get north of £100million for him. He is an established international at the age of 23.
“Yes, he is not at his best right now but he is playing in a poor West Ham side. They are struggling for results and performances at the moment.
“I do not think an indifferent 12 months will affect his value. I think they will still get a top fee for him because he will be a big part of England’s World Cup squad.
“He has enough credit in the bank to hold his England place and command the same transfer fee come the end of the season.”
Rice's current West Ham contract expires in 2024 as he undergoes his sixth senior season in east London in Claret and Blue.
