West Ham’s Declan Rice has reportedly rejected the club’s latest contract offer, amid interest from some of the Premier League big boys.
The Daily Mail reports the Hammers had been looking to offer Rice improved terms following his breakthrough into the first-team squad.
Rice currently earns just £3,000 a week and was offered a pay rise of up to £12,000 a week, but he turned down the offer.
The report claims that West Ham are unwilling to pay the youngster any more, casting serious doubts over the player’s long-term future at the club.
Rice has impressed this season under Manuel Pellegrini and is very highly rated at the club, after joining at the age of 14 when he was released by Chelsea.
England manager Gareth Southgate reportedly has his eyes on Rice, with the West Ham youngster being tipped to earn a senior call-up for the Three Loins very soon.
