West Ham midfielder Rice admits he must improve goalscoring record | OneFootball

West Ham United star Declan Rice admits he needs to improve his goalscoring next season.

The England international accrued a return of five goals in all competitions over the course of 2021-22 season.

"With my ability, I want to start scoring more goals," Rice told Goal. "I've got five this year, but that's still not enough. I should be hitting 10 every season.

"I feel like that's a goal for me that I should be able to hit, and let's see if I can do it.

"There's always a part of my game that I'm trying to improve. My defensive abilities, that I'm really good at, I can still get better. You could always come up against a top player that exposes that, and then you've got to be able to go again and improve.

"There were question marks over whether I could play in Europe against the top sides.

"I've done it with England, but haven't done it at club level, so I can take that into the next stage of my career.

"I've shown I can play and now I can use the experience from those games."
