West Ham United’s incoming sporting director Mark Noble has said that if a top club wants to sign Hammers captain Declan Rice, it will be out of the club’s hands.
Hammers skipper Rice, who succeeded Noble in the summer, has been heavily linked with an exit in recent seasons, with London rivals Chelsea among the clubs reportedly interested in signing Rice.
During the World Cup, comments made by Rice at a press conference suggested that he wants to be playing at the highest level, pointing towards a potential exit in the future, with little over 18 months left on his current deal at the London Stadium.
