West Ham host Frankfurt in the Europa League on Thursday amid rumours their star midfielder Declan Rice could be leaving the club.

The rumour mill is abuzz that the England international being courted by Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea. But manager David Moyes is remaining calm about the situation.

“We’ve got three and a half years so it isn’t the biggest priority. We’ve got other priorities, trying to add to the squad and get other positions in.
