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.
