Declan Rice, a star for West Ham, immediately made fun of Bukayo Saka, an Arsenal star who gained notoriety for his FaceTime call with socialite Kim Kardashian’s son Saint West.
On March 16, when Sporting Lisbon of Portugal defeated Arsenal on penalties to send the Portuguese team through to the quarterfinals of the competition, Saka was a key member of the Arsenal team.
Kim Kardashian and her son Saint West, who is said to be an avid Arsenal supporter, were among the spectators at the Emirates on Thursday.
When Saka’s turn came to take a penalty in the shootout, Kim K only pulled out her phone to record.
In the wake of the defeat, Saka called Saint on Facetime, and the interaction was captured on video by Saint’s superstar mom, as reported on The Sun.
Saka reported for international duty as he linked up with his England teammates, including Declan Rice, who wasted no time to reference the Kim Kardashian incident.
In a video by Bleacher Report that is going viral on social media, Rice is seen greeting Saka before declaring:
“He’s been on FaceTime with Kim Kardashian, bruv. He doesn’t want us anymore.”

“He’s been on FaceTime with Kim Kardashian bruv, he doesn’t want us anymore.” Saka, who saw the funny side to it, hit back with “Do you want me to say hello to you or not?”
Rice then smiles before finally embracing the Arsenal man. “It’s good to see you my friend.” He said.
