Declan Rice ‘owes West Ham absolutely nothing’ says former David Moyes assistant Stuart Pearce – who understands England World Cup star’s Champions League ambitions


Former West Ham assistant manager Stuart Pearce insists Declan Rice owes the club ‘absolutely nothing’ amid transfer rumblings.

Pearce, who was an assistant under David Moyes in the previous two seasons, got to witness Rice first hand, and isn’t surprised about his ambitions.

The England regular recently spoke about wanting more at club level and ‘seeing his friends playing in the Champions League and winning big trophies’.

That has undoubtedly increased speculation around the 23-year-old who has previously been linked to Chelsea and Manchester United, despite a gigantic price tag.

Should he depart in the near future, though, West Ham can have no qualms, according to talkSPORT’s Pearce.

“He owes West Ham absolutely nothing,” the England legend said. “He’s been brilliant, he’s driven them to two European campaigns.

“I don’t think he’ll be moving any time soon, by which I mean any time before next summer, that certainly won’t be the case.

“But depending on how far England go, if England go a long way in this tournament he’s put himself in the shop window all the time, which is a good thing, you want your players to court attention from elsewhere.

“He’s an outstanding player and what player wouldn’t turn round and say my ambition is to play in the Champions League?

“I’d love to see him drive West Ham into the Champions League but he’s got the world at his feet and I hope he keeps improving.”

FIRST DATES  James Maddison jokes Ally McCoist would be RIGHT to let Jude Bellingham date his daughters and keep his granny away from Jack Grealish – but Bukayo Saka would be best son-in-law out of England stars England star James Maddison has responded to Ally McCoist’s hilarious claim that he would let Jude Bellingham date his daughter,s but not let Jack Grealish near his granny. Rangers legend McCoist, who has five son, told talkSPORT on Monday that if he had five daughters instead, they could all go out with Bellingham. The 19-year-old midfielder has  caught the eye  with his maturity on and off the pitch while starring for the Three Lions at the 2022 World Cup. Grealish, on the other hand, is a self-confessed cheeky chappy and  recently admitted  he has a habit of doing ‘stupid’ things. McCoist said: “I just think he’s [Bellingham] unbelievable. I’ve got five boys in the house but if I had five daughters I’d probably let him take them all out at the same ...

SUPPORT   Harry Kane gets brilliant reception from Tottenham fans at Boxing Day clash with Brentford after World Cup penalty miss Tottenham fans loudly showed their support for Harry Kane following his missed penalty for England in Qatar . The 29-year-old was thrown straight back into Antonio Conte’s starting XI for  Spurs’ Boxing Day clash away at Brentford . Kane has been subject to harsh criticism after he blazed over his spot-kick against France in the Three Lions’ World Cup quarter-final defeat. He had equalised against Les Bleus from the spot, but with his second attempt late into the match, he spurned a key chance to level the game up at 2-2. It led some fans to question why he was even on penalty duty, despite his stunning record from 12 yards out having missed three out of his 20 penalties for England prior to his France miss. But the Spurs supporters in attendance at the Gtech Community Stadium were fully behind their talismanic striker. They sang in unison, ‘Harry K...
