Arsenal midfielder Rice insists no West Ham tension

Arsenal star Declan Rice insists that he has not burned bridges at West Ham United.

Rice, who signed for the Gunners from the Hammers in the summer, states that he and West Ham manager David Moyes are close.

The 24-year-old left after winning the Europa Conference League with the club he has played for his entire career.

"I really can't explain the feelings, people leave clubs and lose affiliations with that club. I still speak to the boys regularly," the 24-year-old revealed to The Mirror.

"I texted the manager at the start of the season saying, 'Good luck boss'.

"He texted me back. We've got a good relationship. People at the club, we're still constantly talking and I never want it to not be like that."
