Rice rejects West Ham contract attempts; keen to hear from Man Utd, Chelsea

Declan Rice has TWICE rejected contract offers from West Ham United, it has been revealed.

The Telegraph says Rice has turned down two offers from West Ham to extend his contract.

And the £100m-rated midfielder is not planning on accepting any attempts his current club at a renewal as he is waiting to see if Manchester United or Chelsea made a serious approach for his services.

Rice is contracted to the Hammers until 2024 with the club holding an option of a further year, meaning there is no immediate pressure on either to extend.

Yet despite being among the top earners at West Ham, Rice could earn significantly more elsewhere.
