Who is going to sign West Ham midfielder Declan Rice in the summer?
West Ham captain Declan Rice will be the hot property of the 2023 summer transfer window, but who has the big bucks to splash out on the England international?
The big question is who will be raiding their large piggy bank for the £120million, maybe more, to land him this summer? Planet Sport looks at the runners and riders.
Arsenal
The bookies' clear odds-on favourite, with many expecting Rice to be Mikel Arteta's major summer target. Rice would fill the defensive hole that could be left in the Arsenal side if Granit Xhaka moves on, with only a year left on his contract.
Chelsea
Rice was born and raised in Kingston-upon-Thames, in south west London less than 10 miles from Stamford Bridge. He lives in Reigate in Surrey, which is a short 14-mile hop around the M25 to Chelsea's training ground.
West Ham have already stated that they would accept a £120m bid from a Champions League club…oh bad luck Chelsea.
Manchester United
Manchester City
Then again Pep Guardiola keeps playing centre-backs like in a hybrid midfield role - is this the Spaniard signalling to the owners he needs another player to fill that position?
City have the deep pockets to pay silly money for Rice, and West Ham might be tempted to a cash plus Phillips swap deal.
Newcastle
The problem with Newcastle is it's really, really far away from Rice's family. Londoners are always shocked by how far away things in the UK actually are.
Liverpool
Tottenham
This is the 'ruin your legacy at West Ham' move for Rice.
There's one thing West Ham fans love, and that is a long rage-fuelled grudge - just ask Paul Ince and Frank Lampard.
Real Madrid
Like Spurs this is the longshot. Real Madrid haven't shown much interest and are probably focused on trying to lure Kylian Mbappe to the Bernabeu instead.
Staying at West Ham
Rice also strikes me as an honourable man, and not likely to start on a similar route as the Harry Kane/Levy/Man City fracas.
