Declan Rice put in a sticky spot as West Ham stars join in the chanting at a bustling bus parade

West Ham captain Declan Rice was put in a tricky position on Thursday as he pondered transfer interests from Arsenal, Manchester United and Bayern Munich. The Hammers stars made their stance on the matter clear by sending a chant to the England international during a raucous open-top bus parade to mark their Europa Conference League victory.

Rice got his hands on his first career silverware on Wednesday night as West Ham propelled Fiorentina to the Conference League title. Jarrod Bowen's late winner sealed the 2-1 result, sparking jubilant scenes in Prague that continued once the team returned to east London.

With thousands upon thousands on the streets, Rice and her manager David Moyes were among those who sparked a backlash. An Instagram livestream also showed teammates and fans playfully ganging up on their midfield leader with a chant about his possible transfer exit.

In unison, they sang, "One more year, one more year, Declan Rice. One more year, one more year, I pray. One more year, one more year, Declan Rice. Playing football the West Ham way."

Rice will surely have wanted to avoid talking about his future as top clubs across Europe intensify their interest. The 24-year-old is a top target for Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel and there were positive encounters ahead of the Conference League final.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is also seen as a huge fan, and is expected to have the edge over other Man Utd suitors if Rice chooses to remain in the Premier League.< /p> LEARN MORE West Ham confirm Declan Rice will leave as Arsenal prepare first offer for star

The Hammers are set to take a hefty fee for their captain if he jumps ship this summer, despite cries of hope from his euphoric teammates. It is believed Rice could leave after graduating from West Ham's academy, and club chairman David Sullivan has all but confirmed his imminent exit.

“We promised last summer that if he gave us everything we would let him leave the club,” he said
