West Ham captain Declan Rice was filmed dancing with the Hammers Under-18's side after they won the FA Youth Cup in emphatic fashion on Tuesday night.

In what started out as an evenly contested battle, it was opponents Arsenal who actually took the lead early on after a goal from Gunners youngster Omari Benjamin. However, West Ham replied and then some, with a sensational George Earthy strike starting a sensational night for the East London outfit.

With the final held at the Emirates, pictures of Rice watching on from the crowd quickly made their way round Gunners circles online given the recent speculation touting him with a transfer to Arsenal this summer.

However, he was clearly not afraid to let it be known he remains a Hammer for the time being with his celebrations come full-time. Before that, Rice watched on as goals from Callum Marshall and Gideon Kodua handed West Ham a 3-1 lead by the time the interval rolled around.

Kaelan Casey's header put the game beyond any doubt and Josh Briggs capped off a stellar evening for the Hammers as he made it 5-1 to heap more misery on a Jack Wilshere-led Arsenal side.

Rice could barely contain his delight at full-time, as he took to twitter to write: "U18’s incredible! Youth cup champions!"

Shortly after, Patrick Kelly uploaded a video to Snapchat that shows Rice in the away dressing room after the game to join in the celebrations, dancing and singing with the FA Youth Cup winners.

The victory is likely to resonate strongly with Rice, who himself graduate from the West Ham academy and is the most recent England international to do so.

With that being said, the general consensus is that his time at the club is nearing its end amid interest from Arsenal among other Premier League titans.

However, West Ham first-team boss David Moyes has made clear that Rice will not be going anywhere before any buyer meets the price-tag the Hammers have slapped on the midfielder.

“Yeah, obviously he is such an important player,” said the Scotsman. "He would be missed by any club, so any club who didn’t have him would miss him and we certainly would, partly because he is a big part but my hopes somewhere is that Dec thinks this is the best place for him to be.

"If somebody doesn’t come up with the right amount of money, it will continue to be the place he is as well. The club have made that pretty plain, but I hope we can continue to get the best out of Dec."
