West Ham boss David Moyes has insisted that Manchester United and Chelsea-linked midfielder Declan Rice is no longer available for the "bargain" price of £100 million ($138m).
Rice has spent his entire career to date on West Ham's books, having initially graduated to their senior squad back in 2015.
The 22-year-old is now established as one of the most consistent performers in the Premier League, with a number of top clubs reportedly keeping tabs on his progress, but Moyes has ruled out the possibility of selling a prized asset in the near future.
It was suggested in the summer transfer window that the Hammers would have accepted a £100m bid for Rice, but their head coach says his value has increased again after his strong start to the new season.
Asked whether he worries about potential suitors coming in for Rice next year, Moyes told Sky Sports: "No I don’t, because there was a bargain to be got with Declan at £100m. That bargain’s now gone.
