West Ham have made it clear that they won't entertain any discussions about Declan Rice's next move until their season is over.
The Hammers accept their prized asset may look to leave this summer with the likes of Manchester United and Arsenal keen on the midfielder. Those at the London Stadium though want focus to remain on their own campaign, which could well go on until early June.
West Ham are closing in on Premier League survival but also have European glory in their sights in the form of the Europa Conference League. The final for the competition is on June 7, which could be an unwelcome delay for potential suitors who may want to begin their summer business early.
