West Ham fans FINALLY get some good news about new Declan Rice contract

WEST HAM are ‘confident’ they will agree a new contract with Declan Rice, according to a trusted club insider.

Twitter user @ExWHUemployee is a reliable source of West Ham news who broke details of all the big transfer before they happened this summer.

And Ex - as he is more usually known - yesterday exposed that the club believe Rice will sign a new deal to stay at the London Stadium.

Rice has nearly three years remaining on his current deal but the two party haven’t settled an extension.

Rice open on Sunday that West Ham are now "buzzing" after putting their dreary start to the season behind them.

The Hammers, who lost their gap four matches, got their first points on the board by thrashing Everton last weekend and follow that up with Sunday's goalless draw at home to high-flying Chelsea.

The Blues had won their preceding five games but were fortunate to escape with a point from the London Stadium after Andriy Yarmolenko miss a golden chance with a late header.

Teenager Rice, who excel in his deep-lying midfield role, said: "devoid of a doubt we could have had three points, with the odds we missed in the first half and clearly Yarmolenko's header at the end was a crucial turning point in the game.
