A spine-tingling video message from world superstar Triple H to Declan Rice over his West Ham future has re-emerged.
Declan Rice is likely to leave West Ham this summer with Arsenal said to be the frontrunners for his signature.
With Bayern Munich, Man United and Man City also linked in the last week, though, Arsenal by no means have a free run at the West Ham captain.
Last week a top journalist claimed West Ham could imminently accept a low-ball £92m offer for Rice on one condition.
West Ham fans know Rice has likely played his last home game for the club following the 3-1 win over Leeds.
But they have been doing their bit to try and convince him to stay with the Hammers.
Spine-tingling video message from world superstar Triple H to Declan Rice over his West Ham future re-emerges
Supporters have relentlessly chanted ‘One more year’ to Rice over the last couple of months.
And it was belted out again at the London Stadium as Rice scored West Ham’s equaliser and celebrated in front of the West Ham faithful.
After the game Rice posted a picture of that moment saying: “Photo says it all. Thank you so much for the love and support this season. We appreciate all of you.”
One Hammers supporter saw it as the perfect opportunity to revive a very famous plea to the captain.
A spine-tingling video message from world superstar Triple H to Rice over his West Ham future has re-emerged.
‘Far be it for me to tell you what to do, but…’
Wrestling royalty Triple H – real name Paul Michael Levesque – sent a direct video appeal to Rice to stay at West Ham this time last year.
Triple H – who is a big Hammers fan – told the West Ham man that some things are more important than chasing silverware.
Now a West Ham fan has re-posted the message to Rice in the hope it might strike a chord with the skipper.
“I have a message for the one Declan Rice,” Triple H said in a video to the West Ham ace re-posted on Twitter, which you can see below.
“Declan you’ve got big decisions ahead of you and I understand that. Far be it for me to tell you what to do.
‘Stay with the people that brought you to the dance’
“But I’d like to give you a point of view. Sometimes in life there are more important things (than money, fame and silverware), there’s an opportunity to be something more, to be a hero.
To be a hero to fans who have supported you. To be a hero to people that have watched you come up through a system and succeed in that system. To be a hero and build something on your own.
“To not just succeed, but succeed on your terms, build your franchise, build your legacy, to become something more, to become the one and only, to become the first Declan Rice.
“Build your legacy, build your franchise. Stay with the people that brought you to the dance.
“Stay with West Ham and become the hero, become the champion.
“Become everything that they all know that Declan Rice can be.”
Powerful stuff.
Rice is a big wrestling fan so let’s hope he listens to some wise words from someone who has been at the top of the sports business for decades.
However unlikely that now seems.
