West Ham captain Declan Rice is unparalleled amongst English midfielders, believes Bournemouth caretaker boss Gary O'Neil.
O'Neil once played in the same position for the Irons and started in midfield as they won the 2012 Championship play-off final.
The Cherries travel to London Stadium on Monday night and, when asked about Rice's World Cup potential, O'Neil agreed the 23-year-old is an intimidating presence for both club and country.
Gary O'Neil believes that West Ham's Declan Rice is 'the best all-around English midfielder'
He said: 'He's a fantastic player, has so many strengths for a midfield player, probably the best all-around English midfielder we have.
