DECLAN RICE HAS TOLD £30 MILLION WEST HAM TO JOIN ACE THIS MONTH WITH DEAL CLOSE

Declan Rice has won over Harry Maguire after exploring the possibility of a move to West Ham from Premier League heavyweights Manchester United.

Declan Rice, West Ham’s adored former captain, may no longer be wearing claret and blue, having completed his long-awaited move to Arsenal last month, but he is still doing David Moyes proud, albeit off the field rather than on it these days.Rice had lengthy discussions with England teammate Maguire about a possible summer transition from Old Trafford to the London Stadium, according to The Sun.And, with rumors claiming that Maguire’s arrival in London is almost certain, it appears that West Ham may owe their late star a debt of gratitude, with Maguire reportedly a top candidate to assume Rice’s armband.

Man United’s £80 million misfit will be given the chance to kick-start his career by long-time admirer Moyes, who acknowledged to being interested in the then-Sheffield United prospect during his brief stint at Old Trafford a decade ago.I believe it is a terrific signing. He could end up being the captain. “It’s possible that (giving him the armband) was part of the negotiations,” West Ham icon Tony Cottee tells talkSPORT (10 August, 11am). “I like captains who are centre-haves.He’s an excellent player.” When you watch him in the World Cup, you can tell he’s a good player. Of sure, he struggled at Manchester United, but he can be a true hero (at West Ham).

According to the Sun, Maguire will take a pay drop of £70,000 per week at the UEFA Conference League holders. It remains to be seen how he fits into Moyes’ squad.Perhaps the seasoned Scot will be persuaded to employ a three-man backline more frequently, allowing Maguire to stride out from the back while being flanked by Kurt Zouma and the naturally left-footed Nayef Aguerd.

On Thursday, West Ham confirmed the signing of Ajax’s Edson Alvarez. James Ward-Prowse of Southampton is also on his way for a further £30 million.I am very happy and proud to be here,” adds Alvarez. “It’s incredible to be here in London and see London Stadium.” I’m excited to play in front of the West Ham fans.It’s a very sentimental moment in my career.” Joining a club like West Ham is a dream come true for me and my family.

“The Premier League is a one-of-a-kind league.” The world’s top league. And I believe my style will be appropriate. I am now responsible to West Ham and the West Ham family. I’m willing to give up everything for the shirt.”
