West Ham United transfer news as Gabby Agbonlahor thinks Liverpool need Declan Rice
Gabby Agbonlahor thinks Liverpool are the Premier League club that needs West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice the most at the moment.
Rice has indicated that he wants to leave the Hammers in search of UEFA Champions League football and trophies in recent months.
Agbonlahor confessed that Liverpool should throw away all their current midfielders for Rice and should sign the maestro alongside Jude Bellingham.
“I think Liverpool is the club that will suit him the most and who need him the most,” said Agbonlahor speaking to TalkSPORT Edge. (11 February)
“Liverpool’s midfield can all be thrown away and they need three new midfielders, Declan Rice, Jude Bellingham and one more.”
Every man and his dog.
Every man and his dog is about to be linked to Rice and the Hammers should gear up for what will be an eventful summer transfer window.
Where Rice will end up is still very much up for debate but it’s likely that it will be at one of the Premier League’s juggernaut teams.
Arsenal and Manchester City are arguably the favourites right now, considering their league positions and the potential heights Rice could reach with them.
Liverpool may be out of the running completely if it is Champions League football that Rice craves, the Merseysiders are doing little to prove that they will be in the competition next year.
The same goes for Chelsea, although, Rice has unfinished business at the club and a best friend in Mason Mount who would love him to be playing by his side.
Whatever the case may be, let’s hope the Hammers get a hefty sum for their prized asset, players like Rice don’t come along often.
