Declan Rice has been sent a clear message by West Ham United supporters regarding his future amid ongoing links with Arsenal and Chelsea.
Rice and his Hammers teammates have been in action at Bournemouth this afternoon, with the 23-year-old once again getting on the scoresheet in a vital 4-0 win. West Ham are now all but safe from relegation following the victory, as they sit six points clear of the bottom three, with a game in hand and a superior goal difference.
It is Rice's second goal in a matter of just three days, having netted a sublime individual goal in West Ham's 4-1 Europa Conference League quarter-final win over Gent. That said, Rice is widely expected to leave the London Stadium this summer, with Arsenal and Chelsea among the club's most heavily linked.

With Hammers supporters now only set to have a handful of games left watching Rice in claret and blue, they have made their feelings clear on what they would like him to do on the South Coast this afternoon. The travelling contingent have been heard chanting, 'One more year, one more year, Declan Rice,' to their skipper in a bid to persuade him to remain at their club.
However, strong reports have emerged in recent months that this season will be Rice's last in a West Ham shirt after well over 235 appearances. Arsenal are said to be the England international's favoured destination, with Mikel Arteta keen on adding to his midfield options and seeing Rice as someone who could really elevate the level of his squad.
