Manuel Pellegrini’s West Ham United side overcame the challenge of Southampton yesterday, with Declan Rice excelling.
Manchester City fans are keen to see West Ham United’s Declan Rice join them in the January transfer window.
Rice still hasn’t sorted out his contract at the London Stadium, with the West Ham youngster only having a limited time left on his current deal.
And Rice’s consistently excellent performances for Manuel Pellegrini’s side are now not going unnoticed.
West Ham took on Southampton yesterday, and ran out 2-1 winners, with Rice starting in defensive midfield.
Rice looked like a rock in front of the West Ham defence, as he helped his side to three points.
And City fans are now keen to see Rice brought in by Pep Guardiola in January.
City could be on the hunt for a new defensive midfielder, as they have been exposed without Fernandinho.
City have slumped down to third in the Premier League table, and West Ham’s Rice could plug the void left by the Brazilian’s absence.
