West Ham chairman David Sullivan has confirmed that Arsenal target Declan Rice has played his last game for the club.
Now Sullivan has confirmed that West Ham will not stand in Rice’s way this summer and they are already thinking about replacements.
Asked whether the Europa Conference League victory over Fiorentina was Rice’s last game for the club, Sullivan told‘We promised him he could go. He set his heart on going. You can’t ask for a man who has committed more to us this season.Rice helped end West Ham’s 43-year wait for a major trophy ‘It’s not something we want to happen. We offered him £200,000-a-week 18 months ago. He turned it down.
‘It’s cost him £10million to stay at West Ham in that time [in lost wages]. And he wants to go. You can’t keep a player who doesn’t want to be there.’ Asked if West Ham have received any official proposals yet, Sullivan continued: ‘No, but I think the offers will start to come today.
