West Ham have rekindled their form in the Premier League to boast three consecutive victories, seeing off Newcastle United, Cardiff City and Crystal Palace.
The Hammers had initially struggled to find their feet under the guidance of Manuel Pellegrini but superb form in December so far has given the east London side a huge platform to build upon during the course of the busy festive season.
Significant improvement has been shown since a busy transfer window in the summer, where the likes of Issa Diop, Felipe Anderson and Lukasz Fabianski arrived at the London Stadium, but further business is expected next month.
One deal that has already been completed though is the extension of Mark Noble’s contract, keeping the Hammers captain at the club until 2021 – and many fans on social media are hoping that another new contract is right around the corner.
A few fans took the opportunity to urge the club to tie Declan Rice down to a new deal and we have gathered some of their comments below.
Deserved it! And now its time for @_DeclanRice
