The 22-year-old has been in exceptional form for the Hammers this season.

He has also been a standout performer for the England national team.

Rice is surely now a shoo-in to start for the Three Lions at the Euros this summer.

The midfielder is so vitally important to West Ham. And David Moyes has to do everything within his power to keep him at the London Stadium for the foreseeable future.

ExWHUemployee says Declan Rice is going nowhere

Troy Deeney suggested the other day on talkSPORT that the 22-year-old’s fine form could see him move to one of the big boys for £60 million in the summer.

Ex poured cold water on that suggestion today, however:

Let’s hope Ex is spot on with that. He usually is with West Ham related transfer talk.

Surely the Hammers owners wouldn’t contemplate selling Rice for anything less than £100 million.

They would have a mutiny on their hands if they did.

Declan Rice is integral to West Ham’s hopes of achieving success over the next few years.

The 22-year-old does seem to love life at the London Stadium.

Now it’s up to the owners to prove to him that he can achieve his ambitions at the club.
