Declan Rice says his desire to play in the Champions League is 'URGENT', piling the pressure on West Ham to finish in the top four... or face selling their £100m midfielder amid interest from Chelsea and Manchester United

Declan Rice admits he is desperate to play Champions League football 'as urgent as possible' amid West Ham's battle for a place in the top four this season.

Rice, 23, has helped the Hammers keep pace in the race for Champions League qualification by producing a number of outstanding performances at the heart of their midfield.
