Loads of West Ham fans have been reacting to the weekend’s huge news, as Declan Rice has signed a new contract with the club.
Rice has finally signed a new contract that will keep him at the London Stadium until 2024, the Hammers have confirmed.
The versatile 19 year-old’s original deal expired at the end of this season, meaning he could have negotiated a pre-contract agreement with other clubs as soon as January 1.

The new contract for Rice was no doubt at the top of Manuel Pellegrini’s January shopping list though, as the teenager has become one of the most crucial components of the Chilean’s new-look side.
The Hammers have won four of their last five games, and Rice has played the full 90 minutes in all them, while starting 16 of the 19 league matches so far this campaign.
After all the stick the West Ham owners got last season, the arrival of Pellegrini and the huge summer spend has got fans back onside, and this may just turn out to be their greatest coup yet if Rice keeps developing at such an impressive rate.
