Declan Rice says he’s being teased over transfer speculation

Declan Rice has seen his name alongside impressive transfer fees in the reports.

A little about the topic

The English player has revealed that he is being teased on social media and by his teammates over transfer speculation linking him to leaving the club with more money. With the likes of Man Utd and Chelsea reportedly circling the summer transfer window, Declan has reportedly been hit by a £100m price tag. England’s current deal with West Ham United does not expire until 2024, with the club having a one-year extension option, so any bid for it to leave the London Stadium should be substantial.

What did Rice say?

The Englishman remains grounded about his future, acknowledging that transfer speculation comes with territory when he plays well. Describing the reported fees as crazy, the former Blues academy player insists he has to try and ignore the din of the rumor mill. Declan Rice said he had his best two or three seasons with West Ham and top clubs across the country will always be watching. According to Rice, it’s not just him, it’s the same for every player.

Declan thinks it’s important not to get too carried away with it. They had a good season with West Ham and there were big games that Declan had to play, so he feels like his focus has always been on that. If Rice had thought of other things, he would have gotten carried away and that would not have been fair to the team or the manager.

Rice can’t help the speculation, even with the numbers they’re talking about. He gets hit on social media all the time for this, but Declan can’t help it. He can help by getting on the court and doing his best. According to Declan Rice, they wind it up all the time. Talking about being honest is crazy so he just blocks it and does what he does best and that is playing football.
