Declan Rice excelled for West Ham last season. His driving runs into the opposition’s box have become a regular feature of his game and contributed to his most prolific campaign since he broke into the Hammers’ first team.
His tally of four goals and four assists is a marked improvement from the previous campaign’s total and further proof that Rice’s game is continuing to develop. The 23-year-old was also voted West Ham’s player of the season for the second time in the last three years.
Rice’s consistent performances in the middle of the park were essential in helping his side reach the Europa League semi finals, as well as securing European football for the second successive season. And his exceptional displays have also caught the attention of a number of the continent's leading clubs including Chelsea.
