Declan Rice has been sent a defining message from the West Ham fans as he heads into a summer whereby he is expected to leave the club. With interested parties across the Premier League and Europe, the Hammers' skipper is entering his final 12 months at the London Stadium.
Having fought off suitors in the past with Chelsea and Manchester United both keen to make moves for the England star, this looks to be the end of the road for Rice, who has turned down offers to extend his deal in east London. As Arsenal make him a priority and aim to add at least one top level defensive midfielder to their side, a summer of intrigue lays ahead.
Rice once more captained his team as they fell to final day defeat away at Leicester but could yet cap off his time at the club with a European trophy. West Ham face Fiorentina next week in the Europa Conference League, a game that could be his last for the Hammers.
