“There is an unwritten rule in press conferences with England where the media are not supposed to ask questions about club news.
“However, a friend of mine asked a very smart question that prompted Declan Rice to talk about his future.
“In fact, he has two years left to run at West Ham this summer and, so far, all indications are that he will not sign a new contract.
“You would think that next summer would be a good time for West Ham to sell him, otherwise the price will start to drop.

“If he goes, I think he’ll cost around £100m.
“Which clubs would he be interested in? We are talking about Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City, and probably many other clubs.”
