Borussia Dortmund starlet Jude Bellingham heaped praise on West Ham United captain and Arsenal and Chelsea transfer target Declan Rice on Thursday evening.
football.london understands that Rice is the Gunners' primary transfer target ahead of the summer window as Mikel Arteta looks to bolster his midfield options at the end of the current campaign, while the Blues have held a long-term interest in bringing their former academy prospect back to Stamford Bridge.
The 24-year-old showed exactly why he is rated so highly last night, delivering a hugely impressive performance during England's 2-1 victory over Italy, scoring the opener and dictating much of the game from the centre of the park.
