Pellegrini on Declan Rice
West Ham midfielder Declan Rice’s stock is on the rise as the Englishman is being chased by a number of clubs. When asked about his future, Hammers manager Manuel Pellegrini claimed that it is impossible to make a claim since he can’t know the future.
“It’s impossible. I cannot know the future,” he said.
He then praised Rice for the quality that he possesses and believes that all of the teams in the Premiership might want him. However, despite the interest in him, he is not sure whether Rice would stay or leave.
“He is, of course, a player who has had a brilliant season, who is 20 years old and an English player who has a lot of qualities.
“Maybe some of the big teams, or all of them, will want him. But that is one thing – the other is whether he will stay here or he goes, and I cannot say at this moment.”
