Moyes denied there are offers for Rice

At the moment, there are no offers for Declan Rice. At least, that is the version of events from David Moyes, West Ham's coach, when he was questioned about a possible departure of the midfielder.

In statements to 'Amazon Prime', the manager referred to rumours that the player had contact with Manchester United and Chelsea.

"They're not true, we haven't had any contact from any of those clubs with respect to Declan and we wouldn't want to anyway," he said bluntly after the 1-0 win over Burnley.

For Moyes, it is a key piece that they cannot lose: "Rice is doing very well for us, he is a great leader, he has taken a weight from Mark Noble. He's turning out to be a really good player, but also a really good and good guy at the club".
