Declan Rice has seemingly been on a fast track to the very top of the game since joining West Ham United at the age of 14.

Comfortable playing as a centre-back or defensive midfielder, the tall, strong, versatile Rice captained the Hammers at U16, U18 and U23 level before making his first-team debut in a Premier League win at Burnley in the final game of the 2016/17 season. A year later, at 19, he finished as runner-up in the Hammer of the Year voting.

After being capped at senior level by Republic of Ireland, the Kingston-upon-Thames born player switched his international allegiance in March 2019 and immediately received his first England caps.
