Declan Rice appeared to confirmed the birth of his first child with partner Lauren Fryer by revealing a tattoo dedicated to a newborn boy during West Ham United's Premier League defeat on Sunday.

The England international prompted speculation that he welcomed a son, named Jude, with his long-term girlfriend earlier this month by exposing a tattoo of the child's name and apparent birth date - August 7.

Jude's star-sign, Leo - characterised as a symbol of self-confidence and attractiveness - also featured within the delicate inking on West Ham captain Rice's lower left arm.
