Declan Rice has attracted the interest of Arsenal and Chelsea in recent years as he continues to impress for West Ham, despite their current Premier League struggles
William Gallas has agreed with Roy Keane that Declan Rice is not worth £100million. The West Ham captain has been heavily linked with a move to Arsenal and Chelsea for some time now as he continues to impress.
But, if West Ham decide to cash in on Rice then it could take a hefty fee. In an interview with Genting Casino, Gallas claimed that the Englishman is not yet worth £100million and he'll only reach said valuation once he proves himself at 'the big clubs'.
"[Roy] Keane is right, he’s not worth £100 million! That is not his value yet," the former Arsenal and Chelsea defender said. "But it goes back to what I was saying earlier about players who want to get to the top and how they have to be consistent.
"He plays for West Ham and he has had a few great seasons, but he has to go to another level and when you play for the big clubs it is completely different. You are around players who are different, they are at your level or maybe even better.
"You have to adapt. That is why we have to wait to see if he can fit in well at a big club and, then, if he has a great season, his value will go up. So, I agree with Roy Keane."
"But I don’t think anyone begrudges him wanting to go and win things. We just hope he’ll keep performing like he has been over the last month or so.
"Wherever Declan ends up, or however much someone pays for him, whether it’s here or anywhere else, he’s worth every penny."
