WEST HAM fans have been left convinced that Declan Rice will leave this summer after his brother was spotted in conversation with David Moyes.
The midfielder, 24, is heavily linked with a move away from the Hammers this Summer, as his contract continues to run down.
Rice enters the final year of his contract this summer but West Ham do have the option to extend by a further year.
The Hammers captain produced another dominant midfield performance during Sunday’s 3-1 victory over Leeds and topped it off with his fifth goal of the season.
But eagle-eyed West Ham fans were left heartbroken by what his brother appeared to say to Moyes.
Fans on Twitter believed they could see Declan’s brother mouth “final game” as he engaged in conversation with the manager.

In a video posted on Twitter, Rice appeared to be savouring the final moments of Sunday’s clash with Leeds, looking up at the stands of the Olympic Stadium wistfully.
The fan who posted the video on Twitter captioned it “Don’t overthink it, don’t overthink it.”
But with Rice’s contract entering its final year, and the midfielder refusing to sign a new deal, that’s exactly what West Ham fans will be doing.
