Denis Zakaria is the most likely replacement for Declan Rice at West Ham United this summer.
According to 90 Min’s Toby Cudworth, the most likely player to come in and replace Declan Rice at West Ham in the summer transfer window is Juventus midfielder Denis Zakaria.

Hammers boss David Moyes has allegedly been chasing the 26-year-old all summer long – and he allegedly wants to move to the London Stadium from Juve.
Declan Rice is all set to join Arsenal, and his move will apparently be announced imminently.
With that in mind, it would be fair for the West Ham fans to expect an elite central midfielder to be signed as his replacement – a marquee signing if you will.
Unfortunately for us though, it doesn’t seem like that will be the case at all…
Report makes big Declan Rice replacement claim and it’s terrible news for West Ham
90 Min’s Toby Cudworth reckons that Zakaria is the most likely midfielder to come in and replace Rice at the London Stadium this summer.
There won’t be much more depressing transfer news than that this summer.
Don’t get me wrong, Denis Zakaria is a very decent player, and he possesses power, athleticism and energy in abundance.
However, if he is the only midfielder that Moyes brings in as Declan Rice’s replacement at West Ham, we will be in real trouble.
The Switzerland international isn’t in Dec’s league, so we would undoubtedly regress as a team.
I would have no problem whatsoever if Moyes signed Zakaria alongside an elite player – someone like Ibrahim Sangare, Khephren Thuram or Sofyan Amrabat.
All the chatter seems to be about Zakaria at the moment though. And that is hugely concerning. If he is the only central midfield incoming at West Ham this summer, it will be terrible news for us.
