David Moyes makes Declan Rice transfer admission amid Arsenal and Chelsea interest

Rice has been strongly linked with Arsenal and Chelsea

David Moyes has admitted Declan Rice could leave the club this summer with Arsenal and Chelsea keen to sign the West Ham captain.

Arsenal have made England international Rice their No 1 transfer target this summer, while Chelsea have been strongly linked with the midfielder who played youth football for the Blues before his move to West Ham.

Rice is a talismanic figure for the east London side, and Moyes previously insisted the club would demand a fee in excess of the British transfer record £106million Chelsea paid for Enzo Fernandez in January.

Moreover, the Telegraph reported this week the Hammers were taking a keen interest in how much Rice's England team-mate Jude Bellingham will cost should he leave Dortmund. If Bellingham's fee is as high as the £131million touted, West Ham will allegedly demand that Rice go for the same price.

Nevertheless, Rice's eye-watering price tag does not seem to have deterred his suitors.

Moyes make Rice admission

Moyes admitted it was likely Rice would leave West Ham this summer.

"We honestly hope Dec stays, that is biggest thing. We would love him to be a West Ham player but we are aware that might not be the case," said Moyes.

"That is one scenario. Our plans are to have Dec here but we are fully aware there is a good chance we don’t have."

Arsenal are some way off West Ham's valuation for Rice, with Mikel Arteta's men reportedly willing to pay just £70million for his services.

The midfielder has just a year left on his contract though there is an option for a further 12 months – which West Ham can take up.

However, Rice wants to move to a club playing in the Champions League and West Ham are said to accept his departure is pretty much inevitable at the end of the season.
