However, a fan opted to question the entry of one of the biggest tennis stars into soccer. Commenting on West Ham’s tweet, the fan wrote, “Novak Djokovic signing for West Ham?”

Digging deeper into the comments sections, a fan of West Ham came up with the right answer, calling the photo a silhouette of the club’s midfielder, Declan Rice. However, despite the right answer, fans replied to it with GIFs of the current World No.7.
