After West Ham beat Chelsea 1-0, the club released a video of Declan Rice expressing his happiness, however, the video was met with mixed reactions.
Rice played the full 90 minutes during the win, however, his post-match message left fans with mixed feelings. Some were expressing their love for the player, but others were speculating if the 20-year-old would be at the club for much longer.

Will Declan Rice be at West Ham after January?
Yes
No
Not all fans were praising the 20-year-old, which is surprising considering the midfielder achieved a WhoScored rating of 7.61/10.
Wouldn’t surprise me if he was a Chelsea player next season. But lets enjoy him while it lasts!

What Do We Think?
Despite the slightly mixed reaction, the message was better than a lot of West Ham’s past tweets. However, the Hammers will have to keep this positive energy going, as games against Wolves and Arsenal are in the very near future, which could easily turn into zero points from both.
