Rice is as important to West Ham as Kane is to Spurs.

“I’m waiting for the.. Hello darkness my old friend meme to come,” Rice said on Twitter.
And Tottenham forward Kane responded with an apology.
“Sorry mate should have checked my shoulder,” Kane replied.
There is no love lost between West Ham and Tottenham.
Particularly this season after West Ham’s now famous comeback from 3-0 down to draw 3-3 at Spurs and the recent 2-1 victory at the London Stadium.
But Rice and Kane showed that club rivalries are left at the door when meeting up with England.
