@_DeclanRice you are a very talented and committed young man. You’ll have some difficult decisions to make in the summer but you can easily be a true West Ham legend if you stay. Noble will be honoured to hand you the armband. Excellent game again today.

What do we think?
Over the duration of this season, Rice has featured in 29 games for the Hammers in all competitions, during which he has bagged two assists (per Transfermarkt), while he appears to have retained the respect of supporters.
As many fans mentioned following his social media post, supporters will be hoping that the talented youngster will still be a West Ham player at the end of the summer transfer window.
