Manuel Pellegrini admitted West Ham may sell Rice for a good deal
And West Ham boss Pellegrini conceded the club would be open to selling their most prized asset if the deal suits all involved.
He said: “In that case, as always, it is just a matter of price.

Asked whether or not Rice’s impressive displays for England came as a shock, Pellegrini responded: “Surprised? No.
“I know Declan Rice, I have said before that he is a young player, just 20 years old, but his mind is of an adult player.
“He never feels pressure playing here or with the national squad. I was absolutely sure his level of performance would be exactly the same. He is a top, top player.

Declan Rice made his England debut last week
“He must continue doing exactly what he is doing now, to work in the same way, have the same mentality.
“He knows he must improve, that is why he is always listening and learning so as a player, in the way he plays more games with better games of course he will continue improving.”
West Ham United fans know they have something special in Declan Rice but things could have been very different thanks to Liverpool. West Ham and now England possess a midfield talent rarely seen in the Premier League era. The 20-year-old has been compared to greats like Roy Keane, Javier Mascherano and Sergio Busquets.
