West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice has said that he has an "urgent" desire to win trophies amid the ongoing speculation surrounding his future.
The England international has again enjoyed an impressive campaign for the Hammers, and Manchester United have allegedly identified the 23-year-old as a leading target for this summer.
Rice has said that he is desperate to play in the Champions League as soon as possible, with the midfielder now believing that he is "one of the established top players around the world".
The Englishman has also addressed his alleged £100m valuation, branding the price tag "crazy".
"It is as urgent as possible. I feel like, not only for me, that's for every young player as well. We are really close with West Ham at the minute and last season it was gutting to lose out on it but we are pushing. We'll keep going. Champions League is a big aim of mine and hopefully one day I can play in it and do well," Rice told the Evening Standard.
"I feel like I am one of the established top players around the world. I am only 23, so I am still young - that's what I mean in that sense - but in terms of my playing ability and the way I've performed consistently, I see myself as an established player now who's got good experience and can play at any level if required.
"You hear those numbers and for me it is crazy. All I can do is go out there and perform, regardless of the price tag. I just need to focus on playing well and performing at the best level I can."
Rice - also linked with Chelsea and Manchester City - has scored four times and registered four assists in 34 appearances for David Moyes's side this season.
