Pundits shower praise on ‘fantastic’ West Ham ace Declan Rice

West Ham midfielder Declan Rice was a leading light for David Moyes’ side once again as the Hammers overcame Liverpool.

The Irons beat the Reds 3-2 at the London Stadium in an enthralling encounter that kept the east London club firmly inside the top four.

Rice was at the centre of everything positive for Moyes’ men and has been receiving plenty of plaudits for another stellar outing.

Speaking on talkSPORT (Sunday 7 November 7:15pm), Alex Crook and ex-England striker Darren Bent discussed the 22-year-old’s status at present.

I think he’s rapidly becoming one (a world-class midfielder). We know that he’s reluctant to commit to a long term contract.

Bent responded:

Not yet (world-class). He’s been fantastic and he’s turning out to be fantastic. At times we jump to the world-class bracket. Every time I watch Declan Rice he’s getting better every game, eventually he will be. It’s potential.

So far this season Rice has earned an impressive 7.42 average Sofascore rating from 11 Premier League outings.

READ WEST HAM VERDICT

Right now Rice has to be in the world-class conversation.

Performing week in week out in the English top-flight as well as the Europa League simply has to put the £63million valued ace in the top-echelons.

Regardless of whether he is or otherwise, Hammers fans will simply be delighted that he is theirs and driving West Ham to monumental heights.

matchday.
