# West Ham: Fans react to club tweet about Declan Rice

**Many West Ham fans have taken to Twitter following an official club [tweet](https://twitter.com/WestHam/status/1414638746528632834) commending Declan Rice’s Euro 2020 heroics with England as he played a key role in their run to the final of the competition \[[The Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/football/live/2021/jul/11/italy-v-england-euro-2020-final-live-score-updates-wembley)\].**

Enjoying a fantastic 2020/21 season, the Hammers midfielder was a key player for his club, registering three goal contributions in 35 appearances with two goals and one assist \[[Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/declan-rice/leistungsdaten/spieler/357662/plus/0?saison=2020)\].

He has now excelled on the major international stage with the Three Lions, recording an impressive 91% passing accuracy across seven matches at the Euros \[[UEFA.com](https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro-2020/teams/players/250083732--declan-rice/)\].

Despite England losing in the final to Italy on penalties \[[BBC](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51198762)\], the 22-year-old has earned the acclaim of his club after posting an [emotional message](https://twitter.com/_DeclanRice/status/1414635985019809792) following the defeat. The Irons’ official [Twitter](https://twitter.com/WestHam/status/1414638746528632834) account replied “Just the start”, accompanied by heart and handclap emojis.
