Former Everton striker Marcus Bent has exclusively told Football FanCast that Declan Rice could leave West Ham this summer, should the Hammers get an offer they can't refuse.

Rice has been one of the standout midfielders in the Premier League, with his impressive form catching the attention of some of Europe's top clubs.

The 22-year-old is currently out injured following a knee problem sustained whilst away with England, with the Hammers' victory at Wolves ending his two-year run of consecutive minutes played in the league.

Strong recent reports believe that Manchester United are leading the race to sign the Hammers midfielder, and are going to use on-loan West Ham attacker Jesse Lingard to improve their attempts of bringing Rice to Old Trafford.

David Moyes recently said that it would take the 'Bank of England' to lure Rice away from the London Stadium this summer, but Bent told Football FanCast that if West Ham were to receive a huge offer for the England man, it could help them improve their squad significantly.

He said: "Chelsea and Manchester United, they're big sides. It depends on the price, if they get a big fee for him, it could be a lot of money for West Ham to go out and buy two or three players.

"He's definitely one they won't want to lose, but it depends on the price."
