West Ham midfielder Declan Rice is “expected to wait” and see what transfer offers are made for him before deciding on signing a new contract with the Hammers, according to Eurosport‘s Dean Jones.

The 22-year-old has already rejected two extensions to stay with the London club, and the England international is keen on seeing whether interested clubs do make formal approaches to sign him.

Manchester United and Manchester City have been linked in various reports but Jones claims Chelsea are the likeliest to make a bid, with an offer expected to be lodged “later this month.”

Were bids not to materialise, though, Rice is expected to be open to signing a new deal with West Ham, but only if he is handed a salary commensurate with his transfer value. That would likely mean the Irons would have to break their wage structure to meet his demands and, at this stage, that isn’t a realistic possibility.
