The former Hammers striker says an England international midfielder is going nowhere, while Sebastien Haller is being back to rediscover his spark
Manchester United and only other club planning an approach for West Ham midfielder Declan Rice have been told to “get their hands off” by former Hammers striker Carlton Cole.
The 20-year-old has enjoyed a meteoric rise to prominence over the last 18 months.
Having been handed a holding role by Manuel Pellegrini, Rice has seen his stock rise to the point that he is now an established England international and senior star attracting admiring glances from afar.
