Declan Rice leaving West Ham United for Arsenal in the summer transfer window is apparently not completely a foregone conclusion.
That’s according to Claret and Hugh, who are closely connected to the West Ham board. It is suggested that Arsenal have not yet made an enquiry for the 24-year-old Hammers midfielder.

In fact, its is alleged that not one single club has made an official approach for Rice as yet.
David Moyes will obviously want to keep the 39-capped England international at the London Stadium beyond the end of this season.
It seemed for all the world that Dec will be off in the summer. However, West Ham won’t sell him on the cheap, with the club allegedly demanding around £120 million for the midfielder.

It seems as though Rice is far from guaranteed to be leaving West Ham to join Arsenal this summer.
That’s what Hammers insiders Claret and Hugh reckon anyway.
I still think that Rice will leave, but it’s clear that if no club are prepared to meet West Ham’s asking price, he may well be forced to stay at the London Stadium.
That is obviously not the ideal solution for all parties involved.
If Declan Rice does leave West Ham in the summer, there’s a good chance that his future destination will be Arsenal.
As things stand though, nothing is set in stone regarding his future, that’s for sure.
