West Ham United have been linked with transfer interest in signing Fulham midfielder Joao Palhinha this summer if captain Declan Rice departs the club as expected.
Hammers captain Declan Rice has been heavily linked with a big money exit from the London Stadium this season, with Arsenal believed to be in pole position to land the 24-year–old, while Chelsea and Newcastle United have also been linked with the 41-time England international.
Reports from the Guardian have suggested that should Rice depart the London Stadium this summer as expected, the club have identified Fulham’s Joao Palhinha as a primary target to replace Rice in the middle of midfield.
