West Ham United captain Mark Noble says he hopes Declan Rice returns to the club an England World Cup winner.

Noble wrote for whufc.com: "We hope that the next time we see Declan he's got a medal round his neck, because that will be very special for us, the Club and for himself also.

"It's been an absolute joy watching him play at the Euros, and emotional for myself at times because I still see him as a young kid coming into the team.

"I've got such a close relationship with him and his family and it goes beyond football really. I see him as a little brother, and we just hope obviously that he can keep on playing the way he does, keep winning games and hopefully, in a week's time, that he lifts that trophy, because that would be very special.

"We're here working and looking forward to the boys coming back."
