West Ham midfielder Declan Rice has sparked rumours regarding his future after an intriguing interaction at the BRIT awards.
The 24-year-old looks destined to leave the Hammers this summer, after turning down several new contract extensions, with the aim of playing in the Champions League.
Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United are all thought to be potential suitors for the England international, who is currently priced at £80million, according to The Times.

However, the Red Devils have been dealt a blow after Rice appeared to refuse a Manchester United mug presented to him.

During an interview with presenter Amelia Dimoldenberg, Rice was offered a number of souvenirs including a packet of Monster Munch and a chicken nugget.

After turning his nose up at both, Dimoldenberg added, “I do have a Manchester United mug…”
Rice was quick to shake his head before jokingly responding, "Not for me, that."
However, the World Cup star was far more willing to oblige in a rendition of 'Up the Hammers'.
Whilst the interaction was all in good humour, Rice's future remains up in the air, with a whole host of clubs expected to rival each other for his signature in the summer.

Rice previously referred to Old Trafford as "inspiring", indicating Erik ten Hag isn't out of the race just yet.
Speaking to Sky Sports in October, he said: "It's inspiring for sure - it's Old Trafford. You think of the heritage, the big games that have been here, the top players that have played here.
“You want to come here as a player and stamp your mark and stamp your authority - one to get a win, and two to play well yourself."
