West Ham United academy boss Terry Westley has compared young Hammers Declan Rice to Chelsea legend John Terry, stating that the versatile youngster has a massive future ahead of him in the game.
The 18-year-old has starred in the youth grades at the London club and has been given his opportunity in the first team by Slaven Bilic this season.
Rice has made five Premier League appearances this season and has shown that he can play in central midfield or in defence.
The teenager was part of the West Ham side that came back from 2-0 down to beat Tottenham Hotspur 3-2 at Wembley on Wednesday night, helping the Hammers through to the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup.
