West Ham are reportedly preparing to offer Declan Rice a new contract to fend off interest from Chelsea.
The Hammers midfielder was heavily linked with a big-money move to the Blues during the summer transfer window, but remained in east London.

Now, The Daily Star claim West Ham are readying a fresh double-your-money £120,000-a-week deal for Rice.
The England international played every single minute of West Ham’s Premier League campaign last season and is set to be targeted by Chelsea in January.
Rice has been an ever-present in David Moyes’ midfield this term with West Ham earning credible back-to-back draws against Tottenham and Man City.
Last month, WWE chief and West Ham fan Triple H urged Rice to stay in east London.
He said: “I have a message for one Declan Rice. Declan, you’ve got big decisions ahead of you and I understand that.
“Far be it from me to tell you what to do, but I’d like to give you a point of view that sometimes in life there are more important things.
“There is an opportunity to be something more, to be a hero, to be a hero to fans that have supported you.
“To be a hero to people that have watched you come up through a system and succeed in that system.
“To be a hero and build something on your own. To not just succeed, but to succeed on your terms. Build your franchise, build your legacy.
“To become something more, to become the one and only, to become the first Declan Rice.
“Stay with the people that brought you to the dance.
“Stay with West Ham and become the hero, become the champion, become everything that they all know Declan Rice can be.”
