FOOTBALL fans have been left convinced that Declan Rice will be on the move this summer.
This is after Rice was NOT included in promotional pictures for West Ham’s pre-season tour.
West Ham announced on Thursday they will be going on tour to Australia to tune up for the next campaign.
The picture they used to advertise the tour included Lucas Paqueta, Jarrod Bowen and Nayef Aguerd.
But the noticeable omission of club captain Rice has left fans convinced he will not be at the club in the summer.
One fan wrote: “Haha admin knows Rice is off and won’t be featuring in the tour 🤣.”

A second said: “No Rice also in the promo video or picture already confirms what we all already know. That he won’t be here for that tour.”
A third typed: “Where’s your captain? Does it mean that he will leave the club in the summer?”
While a fourth commented: “Without DR,” with another adding: “No Rice then?”
London clubs Arsenal and Chelsea are two of the most heavily interested parties in a transfer for the England star.
