Declan Rice ‘wants to sign for West Ham’ despite interest from Tottenham and Chelsea
Declan Rice intends to sign a new West Ham contract despite Chelsea and Tottenham showing interest in the teenage midfielder.Rice, 19, has been in talks with the east Londoners for a couple of months now as they seek to reward him for his ascent from unknown youth player to important first-team player.2

Rices rise to prominence has been remarkable

He currently earns just 3,000-a-week on a deal that runs until 2021, and West Ham made an offer to raise his salary to a reported 15,000-a-week – though that was knocked back by Rice.A new and improved offer is now believed to have been tabled that will see Rice earn 21,000-a-week, while he’ll also be paid 20,000 for every Premier League start with a 5,000 wage increase after every 15 league appearances.Despite reports claiming the improved offer was submitted over a month ago, Rice remains on his original deal as talks have reached an impasse. This has led to rival interest in Rice, with Tottenham and Chelsea – the club with whom Rice began his career – said to be keen on swooping for the teenager.However, Rice insists he remains committed to West Ham, and signing a new deal with the Hammers should be on the cards.I want to sign for West Ham and I think it is going to happen, Rice told The Times. Playing every week is what is best for me at the moment and hopefully the contract can come soon.2

Rice started his career at Chelsea but was released aged 14

Amid the ongoing contract saga, Rice is also centre of a tug-of-war between England and Ireland over his international allegiance. The teenager has represent the Republic on three occasions, but Gareth Southgate hopes to tempt him over to the Three Lions moving forward.
