Could Reece Oxford be the reason West Ham aren’t offering Declan Rice his deserved wages?

West Ham United are stalling in handing Declan Rice an improved new deal, according to Mirror Football, with claims that the club and player’s representatives are some distance apart on wages.

The Hammers are ready to offer the teenager £15,000-per-week, a massive increment compared to his current £3,000 wages.

However, Rice’s camp are holding out for £30,000, despite the fact that the club’s proposed wages would rise again to £20,000-a-week once he makes 15 Premier League starts.

The versatile West Ham academy graduate surely deserves to be offered what he has demanded, given that some of his peers and club mates even make much more, and considering his huge potential.
