Joe Cole has likened Declan Rice to Steven Gerrard, as the ex-Chelsea star became the latest pundit to laud the displays of the West Ham star by insisting 'the sky is the limit' for the midfielder.
Rice, 22, has gone from strength to strength for the Hammers over the past 12 months and has spearheaded David Moyes' side's charge up the Premier League table, where they sit in third after 11 league games.
This week, Spurs legend Glenn Hoddle claimed that Rice is currently the top flight's best player, and former Irons starlet Cole has echoed the sentiments of his punditry colleague.
