What Declan Rice did after West Ham's FA Youth Cup win amid Arsenal transfer links

West Ham United captain Declan Rice was filmed celebrating with the club's FA Youth Cup winners on Tuesday night.

The Hammers Under-18 side travelled across London to the Emirates Stadium to face Arsenal in the cup final, convincingly winning 5-1 and lifting the trophy for the first time since 1999.

Celebrating in the changing rooms after, Kevin Keen's side were then visited by the senior side's captain who had watched the preceding 90 minutes.

Arriving to a chorus of cheers, Rice was then filmed dancing and rapping with the youth players who surrounded him and joined in the celebrations. The video was shared by Hammer Patrick Kelly.

Rice himself has enjoyed a successful season on the pitch, guiding the team to a second successive European semi-final and while the team have faired poorly in the league, the captain's performances have seen him linked with a number of sides across the Premier League.

Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal have been tipped to make a bid for the England international at the end of the season with the Gunners allegedly in pole position according to a number of outlets, including Football Insider.
