West Ham United have been told to look no further than Leeds United midfielder Tyler Adams as a replacement for the soon to be departing Declan Rice. The England international has bene the subject of a £105m bid by Arsenal, who despite having to compete in a bidding war with Manchester City, look like getting their man in the coming days.
The loss of Rice will leave a sizeable gap in the West Ham midfield, with the Hammers having plenty of money to spend. However, David Moyes is expected to use the money from Rice's departure to strengthen throughout his squad and while looking for a replacement, he's expected to be shopping in a different price category to the money Rice will go for.
That opens the door top players like Adams, who is also expected to be on the move this summer. There are already reports the Hammers have made their interest in Adams known, and they're not alone in being attracted to the 24-year-old USA international.
Brighton and Aston Villa have been seriously linked with a £25million move for the US international, while Newcastle, Sevilla and Manchester United have been tentatively linked.

West Ham are considering their options, but should definitely make a move according to former Leeds United goalkeeper Paul Robinson. He told MOT Leeds News; "In a similar way to James Maddison, he’s stood out in a team that struggled. He was a key player for Leeds last season and stuck out like a sore thumb when he was missing. He will go onto bigger and better.
"I think West Ham will obviously be looking at him as a replacement for Declan Rice. But I think there will be a lot of suitors out there for Adams, I really do."
