West Ham United have enjoyed a good season so far, pushing for the Champions League spots while still competing in the Europa League.
But, if they are to progress as a team though, they need to add to their squad, not lose key players.
One man that is constantly linked with a move away is Declan Rice, with the top sides in the Premier League allegedly interested in his signature. GiveMeSport have reported on the comments of transfer insider Dean Jones about the future of Rice.

He goes on to talk about the decisions he’ll have to make for himself in the near future, having the following to say: “He believes that he’s one of the best midfielders in the world at this point, and not many of the best midfielders in the world would settle for just playing for a club out of loyalty. And Declan Rice can’t do that either.”
TIF thoughts on Declan Rice leaving West Ham…
Without huge backing, you’d imagine it will be tough for the Hammers to make the step from European challengers to serious top four and major trophy contenders, so if that is what Rice has ambitions of, then a move away seems to be his next call.

If he goes this summer while he is young, with time still on his contract, it will get his current side the best possible deal for him to help them moving forward. He is averaging a 7.2 rating in the league as per SofaScore, so cashing in while he’s playing well is sensible.
In terms of being one of the best midfielders in the world, you’d feel he needs to make that step up to a club in the Champions League.
