# West Ham United: Fans love highlight reel of Declan Rice

**A lot of West Ham fans are raving over a highlight reel of Declan Rice’s best bits at the club posted by fan page West Ham Transfers on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/westhamtransfer/status/1249792676196687872?s=20).**

The [£44.55m-valued](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/declan-rice/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/357662/verein/379) defensive midfielder, who came from the Hammers academy, made his debut in the last game of the season in 2017 and since then has turned into a vital player in the starting eleven, per [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/declan-rice/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/357662/verein/379). He has made 100 appearances for the club and his quality has been rewarded with an England call up by manager Gareth Southgate as Rice featured for the first time for his nation on March 22nd 2019.

This campaign, the 21 year-old has made on average three tackles per game and 2.1 interceptions per game, per [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/332325/Show/Declan-Rice), highlighting how key he is at breaking up opposition attacks and this hasn’t gone unnoticed as rumours have been circulating that London rivals Chelsea are very interested in signing the player in the summer, via [Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11668/11962456/chelsea-interested-in-signing-declan-rice-from-west-ham).
