Fans following the transfer rumour mill will be aware of growing claims that West Ham want to sign Serbia star Sergej Milinkovic-Savic as a replacement for Rice in the summer transfer window. That is obviously providing West Ham manage to stay in the Premier League as we gear up for an almighty battle for survival over the last two months of the campaign. The Sun have previously claimed Lazio’s incredible all-rounder has been earmarked as the man West Ham will spend big to get when Rice inevitably leaves the club in the summer.
