# West Ham United: Fans of the club beg Declan Rice to stay following his latest tweet

**Fans of West Ham United have been reacting to a post on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/_DeclanRice/status/1341153277812105216), in which Declan Rice reflected on the club’s defeat to Chelsea on Monday evening.**

In his [post](https://twitter.com/_DeclanRice/status/1341153277812105216), Rice, who has been one of West Ham’s [stand out performers so far this season](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/29/Show/England-West-Ham), stated that he was ‘gutted’ with the [3-0 loss](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55297949) to Frank Lampard’s side, although he suggested that he felt like the Hammers ‘deserved more from the game’.

In the fixture itself, the England international did not have the best of games, earning a [WhoScored match rating of 6.07](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/332325/MatchStatistics/Declan-Rice), his [second-worst display in the top flight](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/332325/MatchStatistics/Declan-Rice) so far this season.

However, in reaction to his post, many of the West Ham faithful took to Twitter to call for the [£49.5 million-rated](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/declan-rice/marktwertverlauf/spieler/357662) 21-year-old to remain at West Ham, as the midfielder has been [heavily linked with a January move](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9074947/Declan-Rice-Chelseas-wishlist-perfectly-timed-audition-against-suitors-tonight.html) across London to Chelsea.
