West Ham skipper Declan Rice does not know if he has played his last game for the club after the Europa Conference League victory over Fiorentina.The England midfielder has been linked with a move away from the Hammers this summer.And Rice may have signed off his West Ham career by becoming only the club's third captain, along with Bobby Moore and Billy Bonds, to lift silverware in their 128-year history after the 2-1 victory in Prague.Rice told BT Sport: "It's not a goodbye yet.

Look at the moment there's a lot of speculation about my future."There is interest from other clubs, that's out there, but ultimately I've still got two years left at West Ham (one year plus option)."There hasn't been nothing yet (offers).

Let's wait and see, who knows."I love every minute of it here, you can see the smile on my face. It's not about that tonight, it's about celebrating and that's what I'm going to do now."Match-winner Jarrod Bowen was close to tears as he celebrated scoring the goal which won West Ham the Europa Conference League.Bowen raced on to Lucas Paqueta's brilliant pass in the 90th minute and slotted past Pietro Terracciano to earn the Hammers a 2-1 victory over Fiorentina in Prague.It secured the club's first piece of silverware since the 1980 FA Cup and their first European trophy since 1965.Bowen told BT Sport: "You always say you want to score in the last minute and to do it here in front of these fans, I thought I was going to cry."I'm so happy.

We haven't had the best season, myself included, but to do it tonight, I'm over the moon."I think in my position you make that run 10 times you might get that ball once.
