West Ham starlet Declan Rice has added to his personal trophy collection by scooping an award on Thursday night.
Rice was named Young Player of the Year at the London Football Awards 2019.
The 20-year-old beat off competition from Matteo Guendozi (Arsenal), Aaron Wan-Bissaka (Crystal Palace), Karlan Grant (Charlton, now Huddersfield) and Eberechi Eze (QPR) to scoop the award.
And West Ham fans believe it is richly deserved with the academy graduate starring in the first-team this season.
Declan Rice at West Ham
Rice burst onto the scene as a centre-back but has since made his mark in a holding midfield role. He is one of the first names on Manuel Pellegrini’s team-sheet.
It has been another excellent season for the Londoner, who has signed a new contract, scored his first goal and pledged his allegiance to England.
West Ham fans rate Rice very highly and believe he could go on to become a club hero and the next captain.
Below are several opinions from West Ham fans after their prize asset beat off several competitors to land the Young Player of the Year accolade.
