Declan Rice appears to be coming close to making a decision on his future and it may not be Chelsea as so many have speculated.

The Irons skipper took a look around Old Trafford last night and made it clear how much the place appeals to him.

Most had believed he may be on his way back to Chelsea SHOULD his time at West Ham come to an end, but the No 41 has dropped his heaviest hint that his future may well be at Old Trafford.

CandH was the first to reveal that he would remain at Werst Ham this season but that the club gad agreed to entertain offers in the summer.

And its certain that any transfer fee will be in the range of £150 million rather than £100 million if and when the time comes.

Declan clearly loves Old Trafford and the club may have to be considered favourites if they come in for him.

He said via London: Football: “It’s inspiring for sure – it’s Old Trafford You think of the heritage, the big games that have been here, the top players that have played here.

You want to come here as a player and stamp your mark and stamp your authority – one to get a win, and two to play well yourself.”

    I hope its abroad if he does leave and most fans would wish him every success if that were the case.But going to Liverpool,Manchester,north or west London then he would be another Ince,Rio,Defoe,Lampard to me.I dont want any of those clubs to win any match they play so i could never wish him all the best if he stays in the prem. and leave us.

      Couldn’t agree more mate. I’m hoping Dec sees a career playing for a big euro club as ideal. Because if he f’s off to west London to be with his mate I’ll lose all respect for him.

    If Declan decides to leave West Ham I think you could blame David Moyes for not matching Dec’s ambition. I don’t think that ambition would have been playing negative football, waiting to go a goal down in the first half before starting to play too little too late in the second half of nearly every game during the current season. It’s kind of gutless and unimaginative to play like that every week.

    And to think just how well we played for most of the previous two seasons, taking big teams on and often beating them. What went wrong Moysie?

    at the end of the day there was an agreement between the club and his advisers and we should honour that as he did too. he is going to leave just please give hive him the chance to give us what was promised from him. He is not an Ince/Lampard
    Give him the chance to answer for himself not yours to say as he has proven himself to be part of us many many times.
    i hope you guys will give him a good send off because he does deserve it and be proud of him because Chelsea didnt want him and now want him back says volumes in there passed endeavours. Dec is part of us no matter what some may think
