Chelsea have been told Declan Rice will be leaving West Ham

Declan Rice will leave West Ham for the likes of Chelsea during the summer window – fans have been told

Rice has developed into one of the very best midfielders in the Premier League and is a massive reason why the Hammers got so far in Europe and kept pace for that Champions League spot for next season

However, there has been so much speculation in the media about his long-term future at the club and whether or not he will be staying with West Ham – especially as he has dreams to play at the very top of the game

But after seeing the Hammers get knocked out of Europe this week, Stan Collymore has opened up and suggested that Rice will be leaving the club when the transfer window opens up in just a few weeks time

He told CaughtOffside: “West Ham, unfortunately, crashed out of the Europa League at the semi-final stage on Thursday evening after losing 3-1 on aggregate to Eintracht Frankfurt over two legs.

“Should the club fail to qualify for either of Europe’s two biggest competitions next season, I wonder what this could mean for their best players. Could the Hammers lose significant first-team players this summer?

“Well, Declan Rice is the obvious one. Manchester United and Chelsea and I think even the Spanish giants have been talked about in the press, so the clear answer is yes.”
