West Ham handed major £17 million Declan Rice replacement boost as player reportedly wants move to the Premier League.
West Ham manager David Moyes has a huge task on his hands this summer, if he is to sign a Declan Rice replacement capable of filling the void left behind by the 24-year-old, when he eventually leaves the London Stadium.

Dec has been heavily tipped to leave the Hammers to join Arsenal in the summer transfer window.

West Ham handed major Declan Rice replacement boost
Sport Bild in Germany reckon that Djibril Sow, who is valued at around £17 million is very keen to move to England this summer.
That means that the door will be wide open for the Hammers to sign the Switzerland international in the summer transfer window.
I would love Sow at the London Stadium – he was absolutely brilliant for Eintracht Frankfurt during the two legs of the Europa League semi-finals against us last season.
He is an orthodox central midfielder by trade, but can also operate in the deep-lying role or even in a more advanced position.
Sow is combative in the tackle, extremely comfortable with the ball at his feet and has energy and stamina in abundance.
The 26-year-old really is a very good all round player, and £17 million for his services would represent tremendous value for West Ham.
However, it must be said that if Sow is the sole replacement for Declan Rice, it will be totally unacceptable.
Let’s hope that David Moyes brings Sow to the London Stadium in addition to another top-class central midfielder.
