Declan Rice has been advised by Glen Johnson to opt for a transfer to Chelsea, Manchester City or Liverpool instead of Arsenal as his time at West Ham looks set to conclude. The 23-year-old midfielder appears to have no intention of extending his contract with the Hammers and will likely ask a move away in the summer is sanctioned by his current club.
The West Ham captain has been tipped to leave and return to Chelsea, where he played at youth level, for some time. Rice is currently valued at £70million by CIES Football Observatory - although in reality it could be more than that - especially as a bidding war could take place with Arsenal now registering an interest.
According to CBS Sports journalist Ben Jacobs [via Si & Dan Talk Chelsea], Edu is eyeing up a swoop for the England international and West Ham could be forced to sell in the summer following their poor season.
