Former Argentina international Pablo Zabaleta has urged his West Ham side to secure the signature of Declan Rice, following a contract dispute.
Rice played as a centre-back last season when he was brought into the team by then manager David Moyes, and quickly became a fan favourite. This season he has been deployed in central-midfield role and has once again impressed. The 19-year-old was crucial to West Ham's victory away to Everton, as well as his side's clean sheet against Chelsea last weekend.
Rice is currently earning £3,000 a week, but West Ham recently gave him an offer of £12,000 a week.
