Rice defeated Crystal Palace’s Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Arsenal’s Matteo Guendouzi, Eberechi Eze of QPR, and  Charlton’s Karlan Grant.

Earlier in the season, Rice penned a contract extension that will keep him at West Ham until 2024.

Rice scored his first professional goal against London-rivals Arsenal last month and has been one of Manuel Pellegrini’s most reliable options this season.

In fact, Rice has played every single minute of Premier League action for West Ham since matchday five against Everton, where the Hammers earned their first win of the season.
