It's no secret that Arsenal want to sign Declan Rice from West Ham this summer. After watching his display for England against Italy, it's easy to see why.
In many ways the Three Lions' 2-1 victory in Naples was a perfect summation of the many strings that Rice has to his bow. The 24-year-old may have grabbed the attention for his opening goal, but it was the rest of his display that would have most pleased Mikel Arteta.
During the first half England largely had control of possession. Key to this was Rice at the base of the midfield. The West Ham midfielder completed 35 of his 37 passes (as per Wyscout) ensuring that Gareth Southgate's side were able to stay on top.
