Jason Cundy cannot believe what West Ham United fan just said about Declan Rice
Declan Rice has divided West Ham fans ever since he left the London Stadium to join Arsenal.
The England international left behind a brilliant legacy during his time at the Irons, but given he joined a London rival, most fans have been unable to get behind him moving forward.
However, Rice has proven to be a key part of the Arsenal team under Mikel Arteta, with the Gunners making him a focal point of the squad.
His performances have helped the Gunners to the semi-finals of the Champions League, which has left West Ham fans split on their feelings toward him.
Jason Cundy has been left baffled by a West Ham fan
Rice has continued developing his career at the Gunners, kicking on to the next level with his weekly performances.
However, few West Ham fans are going to be cheering them on to win Europe’s biggest prize this season.
Arsenal reached the semi-finals of the Champions League after knocking out Real Madrid with a 5-1 win on aggregate, and Rice played a huge part in both games.
That led to one West Ham fan surprisingly admitting that they wanted to see Arsenal win the competition simply because Rice plays for them.
His admission on talkSPORT left Cundy stunned as he called him a “whopper” for choosing to support Arsenal as a team just because Rice is part of the squad right now, and he has a West Ham connection.
He asked: “What’s wrong with you?
“You don’t want him to win it, you’re better than that. I find it difficult to grasp that you want Arsenal to do it.”
Declan Rice has the chance to lift another European trophy
Rice helped make history when he was part of the West Ham squad under David Moyes, which won the Europa Conference League, and he will be aiming to do something similar this season for Arsenal.
The Gunners are in the final four of the Champions League and will face Paris Saint-Germain across two legs to try and book their place in the final, which would be a monumental achievement for the team.
| Arsenal fixture | Date |
| Arsenal v PSG | 29/4/25 |
| PSG v Arsenal | 7/5/25 |
Arsenal have never won the competition, therefore Rice being able to guide the team to that would be a huge deal, but most West Ham fans won’t be supporting that.
