West Ham United 'remain in contract talks with Declan Rice'

West Ham United are reportedly still in talks with centre-back Declan Rice over a new deal at the London Stadium.

Rice, 19, featured on 31 occasions for the Hammers during the 2017-18 campaign, and was voted the club's Young Player of the Year for the second successive season.

The teenager only has one year remaining on his contract in the English capital, and it is understood that he wants a raise on his current wages.

According to Sky Sports News, the Hammers are still in talks with the central defender over a new contract, and are hopeful that an agreement will soon be reached.

West Ham have added defensive reinforcements in the shape of Ryan Fredericks and Issa Diop in this summer's transfer window.
