Declan Rice, who is expected to depart West Ham this summer, is being pursued by Newcastle United. David Sullivan, the chairman of the Hammers, has stated that the 24-year-old will be let to go, which may allow Newcastle to sign him.
According to rumors, the Magpies want to speak with Rice about relocating to St. James’ Park, but it seems that we are not the front-runner. Rice is eager to stay in London, and it appears that Arsenal is leading the race to sign the England international.
Declan Rice, a West Ham hero, is wanted by Newcastle United this summer. Rice’s transfer to Newcastle appears to be extremely doubtful, and a West Ham exit might result in Eddie Howe’s team missing out on another target.
The possibility of double danger exists. Rice appears to be leaving West Ham, but Newcastle is not likely to get him, so that is one opportunity lost. Then, if he leaves, the Hammers may sign Alvarez, which would be another Toon target missed.
West Ham Chairman Announces Declan Rice Signing Amid Newcastle Interest
Declan Rice will be permitted to leave West Ham United this summer, club chairman David Sullivan has said, despite interest from Newcastle United. Wednesday night’s 2-1 victory over Fiorentina by David Moyes’ team in the Europa Conference League gave the Hammers their first title since 1980. Rice contributed to the victory.
Rice won his first career trophy, making it an amazing night for West Ham. The midfielder said after the game that he has interest from other clubs, which might mean the final is his final match for the Irons. Chairman David Sullivan, who has acknowledged that the 24-year-old will fulfill his goal and depart the London Stadium this summer, has this opinion.
Newcastle may now make a move as a result of Sullivan’s remarks concerning Rice. In recent months, he has been linked with a transfer to St James’ Park. According to the Independent, the Magpies covet the 24-year-old but would resort to Scott McTominay if they can’t acquire him.
That is nearly double Newcastle’s existing record. Despite having very wealthy owners, Newcastle has been cautious not to overspend. And, with Eddie Howe looking to add numerous players to his team this summer, it would be foolish for him to spend nearly his whole budget on a single player. The door is open for Newcastle to make a bid for Rice, but Dan Ashworth is unlikely to do so.
