West Ham’s best hope is to get as much money as possible for Rice – they are holding out for at least £100m – and reinvest wisely. Too many top managers admire his tackling, energy, reading of the game, passing and growing goal threat for him to stay. Not that Arteta’s interest is solely down to Rice’s defensive qualities. When Rice ran half the length of the pitch to score against Gent in April, the response from one person who knows Rice’s game inside out was to expect him to do even more in the final third in a bigger team.
