David Moyes says that Declan Rice's price tag has risen to north of £150million and believes that West Ham United will handle any inquiries similar to how Tottenham Hotspur dealt with the interest in Harry Kane last summer.
Rice has ascended to another level of play this season, with numerous pundits describing him as the world's best central midfield player. He has three years remaining on his contract and former club Chelsea and Manchester United are among those monitoring the situation ahead of a possible summer move.
Chelsea's position is complicated by their ownership situation and, with West Ham holding such a firm valuation, the majority of clubs will not possess sufficient finances to make a reasonable bid.
