ENGLAND star Declan Rice hinted at an imminent West Ham exit after admitting he is “100 per cent” hungry to win titles.
And Hammers fans are now convinced he is on his way out with some of the Premier League’s biggest hitters, such as Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea keeping tabs.
The midfielder’s stock continues to rise in the 2022 World Cup as he is among the Three Lions’ standout performers that have helped Gareth Southgate’s side reach the Last 16.
And the 23-year-old has admitted winning titles has become a top priority as “you only get one career”.
His hunger for trophies has increased while playing with the likes of Raheem Sterling, Jordan Henderson and Mason Mount, who have won Premier League and Champions League titles.
That has opened the door wide to United, City, Chelsea and other suitors.
