Various papers have reported that Declan Rice has turned down a third contract offer from West Ham, but the club is still in a strong position. Deckers's contract has another two years to run, with the club having an option on a third year. He's not the sort to be unprofessional and go on strike so it looks like he would probably stay another season and then move on should a contract not be agreed. Whatever happens — and he'd be worth at least £150 million — it's been a privilege to watch him develop for the last five seasons and he shows all the signs of developing into a future England captain. Plus Rice seems to enjoy playing football much more than most modern players. Mind you, if West Ham could win the Europa League and get into the Champions League and then make some quality summer signings, we'd be in a much better position to keep him. Here's hoping...
