Poll: How should West Ham deal with Rice wage demands?

West Ham are reportedly willing to wait until the end of the season before resuming talks with Declan Rice over a new contract claims Jacob Steinberg in the Guardian yesterday.

The 19-year-old is thought to currently earn £3,000 per week basic wage plus £10,000 per appearance bonus each time he starts.

It has been widely reported that the last West Ham offer consisted of an offer of £21,000 per week basic wage, £20,000 per Premier League start bonus and a £5,000 per week basic increase after 15 Premier League starts.

Declan’s agent Neil Fewings from the Wasserman Media Group is thought to be holding out for £30,000 per week basic plus the various bonuses on offer and negotiations are said to have cooled in recent weeks with no dialogue between the two sides.

In today’s Claret and Hugh poll we ask whether the club should just pay Rice his demands now, wait until the Summer or stick with their current offer.
