Jack Wilshere has asked whether there's a better defensive midfielder in the world than West Ham United star Declan Rice right now. The pair played together at the Hammers between 2018-2020, after Wilshere's contract ran out at Arsenal, with whom he'd represented since the age of nine.
Whilst Wilshere's career has been riddled with unfortunate injuries, Rice is beginning to become a worldwide star. As well as establishing himself as one of England's most important players, the 23-year-old has impressed as captain of West Ham - in place of Mark Noble, who is retiring at the end of the season.
His performances have helped the Hammers book a place in the quarter-final of the Europa League, earning a tie with Ligue 1 outfit Lyon. And during the first leg of that encounter, Wilshere took to Twitter to express exactly what he thinks of his former teammate: "Tell me a better DMF than Declan Rice right now? Can't think of anyone can do what Dec can..." he said.
