sport news DANNY MURPHY: Declan Rice needs to leave West Ham trends now

Half the England team that beat Italy could move clubs this summer in a very hectic transfer window. Some think Gareth Southgate should be worried about the potential disruption to his players but I actually believe it will be to his benefit at Euro 2024.

What could be better than Harry Kane and Declan Rice challenging for big trophies, Harry Maguire and Kalvin Phillips playing regular first-team football and Jude Bellingham ripping up the Premier League.

It’s unusual to have so many England stars all facing an uncertain future at the same time. You could also include goalkeeper Jordan Pickford if Everton are relegated, while Chelsea’s Mason Mount is also attracting interest.

The situation for each individual is slightly different. Not all of them will be transferred in the next window, but many will. Declan Rice, who scored the opening goal in Naples, has to leave West Ham. Ideally he would have gone last summer because it’s been hard for him to maintain his best form in a team that doesn’t keep the ball or boss games as well as others.

He’s 100 per cent ready to move to the next level and at 24 won’t want to wait any longer for Champions League football. Arsenal would be a great option and I think he’d be an automatic starter. The lure of Chelsea is also strong, having grown up supporting the club and playing in their academy.
