West Ham are at risk of losing Declan Rice this summer after being offered what has been described as a derisory pay-rise.

The Republic of Ireland international has been locked in talks over a new deal following his excellent breakthrough season.

His existing deal until 2020 is worth just £3,000 per week. Sportsmail understands the new offer has come in at around £8,000 per week - a fraction of what the Hammers have agreed to pay Ryan Fredericks, who has just signed from Fulham, despite his lack of Premier League experience.

Sources in Ireland clam that Rice has been unimpressed by the offer given his standing as one of England's best young prospects.

Indeed, the contract impasse will alert a host of the Premier League's leading clubs, who have also noted his recent change in agent.

The fight to keep Rice at the London Stadium will be one of new manager Manuel Pellegrini's priorities ahead of his first season at charge.

Despite being just 19-years-old, Rice played 31 times for the Hammers last season.
