Rice has been recognized as one of the Premier League’s best midfielders in recent seasons and is now a full-fledged England international.
The Hammers No. 41 will be one of the first names on Gareth Southgate’s squad sheet when the Three Lions travel to Qatar for the World Cup later this month and there is sure to be a lot of interest in his signing at the end of the campaign. .
The former Chelsea youth player turned down a huge eight-year contract offer from his club earlier this year and his current contract expires in 2024.
