The latest to pile the praise on Rice is Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson. Quoted by Hammers.News speaking live on air, the Arsenal legend said the following:

“They break down the right, with Declan Rice, who is a proper player. He plays a brilliant ball in the middle of the park to Antonio – then he has the composure to smash it into the far corner. “

“I would say Rice. I felt Rice started very well in the first half. I thought he was different class. He burst through and had a shot that he should have done a lot better with. He was the better player out of the both of them. Then, in the end, he picked out that final pass. I thought Phillips was quiet today. I think he’s more involved in the game than that usually.”

West Ham fans will be crossing their fingers that Rice rejects the inevitable interest that’s to come from the Premier League big boys and sticks around at the London Stadium.
