West Ham United are set to begin preparing for life after Declan Rice.

The midfielder is likely to leave in the summer when the transfer window opens.

An England international, Rice wants to play for a club that is in the Champions League.

As the Hammers look to avoid relegation, they know that Rice will leave regardless of where they are playing next term.

Per The Mail, PSV Eindhoven's Ibrahim Sangare, Manchester City teenage star Carlos Borges, and Bristol City's Alex Scott are possible replacements.

The Hammers want to ensure they have a replacement in place before any bidding war for Rice begins.
