Rice would then be committed to West Ham until the year 2030, meaning his club would hold all the cards in terms of a potential transfer away to one of the biggest clubs in the Premier League or elsewhere in Europe.

It remains to be seen if Rice would be willing to make such a huge commitment, as the 23-year-old is surely good enough to be playing in the Champions League and competing for the biggest trophies in the game.

Still, this is a clear sign of how much West Ham value Rice, who has risen up through their academy to become one of their most important first-team players, and most likely a future club captain.
