West Ham United defensive midfielder Declan Rice earned his first England call-up earlier this week following an outstanding campaign in the Hammers shirt, and the club and fans couldn’t be more proud of one of their own.
The 20-year-old has featured in 27 Premier League games for Manuel Pellegrini’s side this term, scoring twice, and is arguably the best English player in his position at the moment.
Three Lions manager Gareth Southgate would have very glad when Rice switched allegiances to England having represented the Republic of Ireland at youth level and in three friendly games.
