Declan Rice plays hilarious prank on West Ham team mate Jack Wilshere

West Ham and England's Declan Rice is a well known dressing room joker, and his latest victim is central midfield partner Jack Wilshere.

The Hammers are preparing to face Oxford United in the Carabao Cup this evening, but that has not stopped Rice from having a quick joke at his team mate's expense.

In the video posted on his Instagram story, Rice can be heard laughing while Wilshere gets changed after training.

"Geez!" Rice shouts, before he kneels down and tries to pull Wilshere's trainers from the floor, as he points the camera towards the doomed shoes.

Lo and behold, they're stuck fast.

Rice howls with laughter as Wilshere tries to remove them from the floor himself, but they're clearly going nowhere.

As Wilshere attempts to pull them off the floor, they make a ripping noise and snap back to the ground.

To be fair to Wilshere, he takes the joke well, laughing himself as Rice loses control, guffawing in the background.

Rice is no stranger to video pranks, having teased team mate Mason Mount on his Instagram story after the Chelsea midfielder scored his first Premier League goal for the club.

Mount, meanwhile, famously took a video of Rice screaming as he woke up from a nap while the two friends were away on holiday during the summer.

Rice has been an instrumental part of West Ham's midfield this season, helping them to fifth in the table.

They beat Manchester United 2-0 at the weekend and will hope to advance to the fourth round of the Carabao Cup this evening against League One outfit Oxford.
