Stuart Pearce has suggested that Declan Rice could become an ever better player than Roy Keane was.
The West Ham midfielder has been constantly compared to the former Republic of Ireland captain and continues to be of interest to Manchester United in terms of midfield reinforcements.
Pearce has worked with Rice in his role as a West Ham coach and believes the 23-year-old, who turned his back on Ireland to declare for England, is "up there" with where Keane was at the same age.
