Wayne Rooney reflecting on Declan Rice’s performance in the #Arsenal win over Everton at the weekend: “I have to say Declan Rice is incredible, it was a pleasure to watch. He was by far the best player on the pitch.
“For me, he’s the future captain of England. He’s the one who’s probably waiting for Harry to hang up his boots at some point.
“He was all over the pitch. His decision-making – when to pass it, where to pass it, what foot to pass it to, his detail on his pass – it was a pleasure to watch. He was absolutely incredible.
“He was splitting centre-backs, taking the ball off Arsenal’s centre-backs, acting as a third centre-back, then next minute he’s in the box, trying to score a goal. Sometimes, some of the stuff he does is a bit underrated.
“He’s the right one to take over Kane for me, because of his drive, his personality. Everyone seems to love him, who knows him, who’s close to him. He’s irreplaceable for England.”
