West Ham set for mini clear-out as Declan Rice, Ben Johnson and Thilo Kehrer could all leave

<p>

West Ham have reportedly rejected another bid from Manchester City for star midfielder Declan Rice, worth &pound;80million plus &pound;10m in add ons. While Arsenal are lining up a third bid, after having a &pound;75m, plus &pound;15m, one rejected. </p>

<p>

The Irons are said to be holding out for at least &pound;100m for Rice, and with two years left on his contract who can blame them? </p>

<p>

But while West Ham fans are resigned to losing Rice, and have been for a long time, the main interest lies in the other players that could be moved on. </p>

<p>

Manuel Lanzini has already left the club after his contract came to an end, while Everton are reportedly sniffing around utility full-back Ben Johnson. </p>

<p>

Johnson, who is currently on international duty with the England Under-21s, has dropped down David Moyes' pecking order and could be available at a bargain price. </p>

<p>

Everton are currently leading the race for his signature, and as he is out of contract at the end of the 2023/24 season, West Ham are more than likely to let the 23-year-old leave for a fee this transfer window. </p>

<p>

German international defender Thilo Kehrer could also be moved on after a frustrating season at the London Stadium. </p>

<p>

Kehrer played 38 times across all competitions for West Ham, across the back four and even in midfield, but after a handful of key errors struggled to convince the West Ham faithful he should be a first-choice player. </p>

<p>

His form improved drastically towards the end of the season, and many believe he still has an important role to play in the West Ham squad. </p>
