Rice responds to ‘speculation’ on West Ham future after lifting European trophy
West Ham took the lead in Prague towards Fiorentina by way of Said Benrahma’s penalty, and although they have been pegged again by an equaliser from Giacomo Bonaventura, Jarrod Bowen struck within the Ninetieth-minute to finish the membership’s 43-year look forward to a serious trophy.
Rice grew to become the primary West Ham captain to elevate main European silverware since Bobby Moore, in what is going to possible show to be his remaining look for the membership earlier than a big-money summer season transfer.
Arsenal and Bayern Munich have each strongly been linked with the midfielder, who has two years left on his present deal on the London Stadium having rejected numerous contract gives from the membership.
Speaking on the pitch having lifted the trophy in Prague, Rice insisted no choice has but been made on his future as he spoke about West Ham in glowing phrases.
“There’s a lot of speculation going on about my future,” he informed BT Sport.
“Obviously here is interest from other clubs, that’s out there, but ultimately I’ve still got two years left at West Ham.
“I love this club, I love playing for this club. There hasn’t been anything yet. My focus is playing for West Ham, enjoying tonight and seeing what happens. I’m captain of this club and absolutely love it to pieces.
“I cannot speak highly enough of this place, let’s just see what happens.”
