Man Utd, Chelsea target Rice: West Ham teammates wind me up over £100m price-tag

West Ham United star Declan Rice admitted the transfer speculation surrounding his future is intense.

The midfielder is preparing for a Europa League semi-final second leg against Eintracht Frankfurt in midweek.

He was also involved for West Ham in a 2-1 loss to Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday.

Speaking about a mooted move to Manchester United or Chelsea, Rice told Sky Sports before the Arsenal game: "[The West Ham players] wind me up about it all the time. It's crazy to speak about [£100 million price tag], to be honest.

"I kind of try to block it out, and do what I do best, which is play football."

He added on his future: "I don't think there is any big panic."
