Report: West Ham United open contract talks with Declan Rice

According to The Transfer Window Podcast, West Ham United are looking to offer defensive midfielder Declan Rice a new improved deal in order to keep suitors at bay ahead of the January transfer window.

Chelsea were keen on signing the England international during the summer transfer window, but the Hammers insisted he wasn’t for sale and managed to hold on to him.

Rice still has four years left on the deal he signed in December 2018, and there is an option to extend it by another year.

West Ham aren’t looking for another extension, and are only keen to increase his wages and bonuses instead.
