West Ham 'have conceded internally' Declan Rice WILL leave in the summer, with Chelsea eager to beat Man United and Man City to his signature... despite Frank Lampard's insistence for England star 'irritating Blues board' during 2020 pursuit

Declan Rice's time at West Ham is reportedly in his final few months with the east London club 'conceding internally' they will have to sell him in the summer.

Rice, 23, has elevated his stock immeasurably in the last few seasons and has established himself as a key part of the England national team.

West Ham have spent months trying to get Rice to agree to a new deal but the Athletic now report that there is a growing acceptance a divorce between player and club is near and his wish of playing for a club in the Champions League is close to being granted.
