For me Declan Rice is up there with top players in world in midfield, asserts Teddy Sheringham

Rumours are mounting that a move could be on the cards for the Hammers star as he wishes to test himself at the highest level of European football. Clubs such as Chelsea, Manchester United, and several other Premier League clubs are interested in the midfielder although a figure of £100m is being touted as the rumoured price for his sanctioned exit. Sheringham has compared Rice to Gerrard and has proclaimed that a price tag of £160 million would be required to let him depart the London Stadium.

“I have to liken him to Steven Gerrard. Not many players can eat up the ground like Declan - Gerrard used to do exactly the same, he used to overpower people in midfield. Add that to his passing ability, his understanding of the game, his knowledge of the game. For me, he’s up there with the top players in the world in midfield at the moment, there’s no denying that,”  Sheringham said to Genting Casino.
