David Moyes says the presence of Declan Rice at West Ham is focusing his mind on buying even better players for West Ham this summer as the club seek to build on their presence in the top six of the Premier League so far this season.
With West Ham taking on Tottenham on Sunday, currently well clear of their London rivals, fans and management will be hoping for European football next season.
And having Rice, likely to be in the starting eleven for England at this summer's Euros, is pushing the club to maintain their progress and so convince the likes of Rice to stay and achieve their ambitions at the London Stadium.
