Number one Arsenal and Bayern Munich target Declan Rice wants to leave West Ham at the end of the season, according to the club’s co-owner David Sullivan.
The 24-year-old was last night celebrating the Hammers 2-1 Europa Conference League final victory over Fiorentina, becoming the first West Ham captain to lift a major trophy since 1980 and the First European trophy since Bobby Moore back in 1965.

The future of the England international has been of much speculation this summer, with reports suggesting Rice would prefer a move to West Ham’s London rivals Arsenal, whilst Bayern Munich boss Thomas Tuchel remains desperate to land the $100m rated midfielder.
By turning down the contract in question, it is thought Rice has lost the opportunity of earning $12.5m in order to push through a big-money summer move- with Rice’s destination still yet to be decided.
