Flocking to Twitter, many West Ham United fans have responded to club insider ExWHUemployee’s update on star midfielder Declan Rice.
Rice was instrumental in West Ham’s push for European football over 2020/2021 and played a key role in defensive midfield – making the most interceptions out of any Irons player with over 15 starts in the Premier League (WhoScored).
As a result of his brilliant form over this past season, many clubs are interested in signing Rice this summer – with Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea all interested in a move for the 22-year-old.
However, ExWHUemployee’s update on the subject (via West Ham News & Views) has many Hammers fans talking amid a development.

The insider claims that while this trio of clubs are admirers, none of them are willing to match his £100 million price tag needed to prise him away from east London.
The situation, as it stands, is unlikely to change with the Englishman currently looking set to remain at the London Stadium.
Flocking to this update, as shared by West Ham News & Views, many Irons dropped their verdicts – find all of their best ones down below.
