Declan Rice has returned to training at West Ham and will not push for a move away
Declan Rice has returned to training for West Ham and has no intention of pushing for a move away, according to a report from the Telegraph.
They claim that the 22-year-old is “ready to give his all” to the Hammers and “has not made any demands to leave before the end of the current transfer window”. This is despite the fact he has rejected two contracts from West Ham.
However, Rice clearly has a lot of respect for his club and rather than follow the path that Harry Kane has gone down, the defensive midfielder has turned up to training on time and is fully committed to the Hammers [Sky Sports].
Good news for West Ham.
Although Rice is still contracted to the Hammers, it would have been quite easy for him to stay away from training and try to engineer a move away from the club.
However, he has returned to training, and it seems as if he is fully committed to the Hammers this season. This is ultimately what he is paid to do, but he still deserves great credit for respecting his club.
The Hammers have set a price tag of £100m, so until someone comes up with that fee, Rice will probably be staying at the London Stadium, so it is good to see that he has decided to knuckle down and help his current team achieve their objectives this year [The Athletic].
Rice is absolutely fantastic and proved as much during the Euros, and the Hammers are a better side with him in the team, so it is great to see him back in training and committed to the Irons.
In other West Ham news, the club can sign this full international for a reduced fee of £12.8million.
