# West Ham United: Irons react as club insiders share Declan Rice update

**According to an update from club insiders Claret & Hugh, via [West Ham News](https://twitter.com/WHUFC_News/status/1347625461095034881), West Ham have no interest in selling star midfielder Declan Rice in either this window or the summer – with many Irons flocking to this inside claim and delivering their wide range of opinions.**

Rice has been heavily linked with a move across London to Chelsea in recent months, with reports flooding in over the summer that he was potentially on his way to work under Frank Lampard.

These claims have resurfaced for the January transfer window, and apparently the 21-year-old is Chelsea’s number one target.

However, as revealed by Claret & Hugh, West Ham United are not going to entertain selling Rice either this month or in the summer – coming as very good news for David Moyes and supporters.

Flocking to this inside claim, fans shared mixed opinions, with some excited by the news whilst others still held reservations – find all of their best verdicts down below.
