West Ham are 'targeting a ex-Premier League flop to replace Declan Rice' if he leaves in the summer with the Hammers feeling the midfielder 'would fit in back in England' after revitalising his career aboard

West Ham are reportedly considering a former Arsenal midfielder to be Declan Rice's replacement should he leave the club in the summer.

Rice, who helped lead the Hammers to a 1-0 victory over Manchester United on Sunday, is expected to be snatched up by one of the Premier League giants in the upcoming transfer market.

The England international's existing deal has just a year left to run, with the option to activate another year on top, but West Ham will likely want to cash in on their most valued player amid interest from Arsenal, Manchester United, and Newcastle.
