Declan Rice will stay at West Ham - Moyes
The English coach is sure that the star of his team will continue to play for the club.
boss David Moyes believes
Declan Riceis one of the best midfielders in Europe and wants to build his team around the English midfielder.
After shining in Euro 2020, Rice is having a great season with West Ham and is trying to win the Champions League qualification with the Hammers. Many teams have shown interest in buying Rice and intend to hire the English star. Now Moyes claims he has no worries about losing Rice, even though he considers him one of the best in Europe.
"
There's not many better,"
the English manager said
. "I think if you break Declan down, you might say: 'Well OK, I want you to become even better in your passing'.
"So you can look at Frenkie De Jong or you can look at Jorginho. You could look at people who are really, really tidy football players.
"But then if you looked at the other side of the game, Declan's as good as anybody I know at recovering the ball, and speed round the pitch. I can't really think of many other midfield players like Declan in that mould really.
"Rodri's slightly different in how he plays in a different fashion. But Declan's a wee bit of all round, and certainly can do different things and he's beginning to add goals to his game.
"There's probably not many better, but I think there's aspects of Declan's game that he can improve. We want him to become better at so many things, but he's been a revelation for us this season."
Rice will play his 150th Premier League game for West Ham against
Crystal Palacetoday, and Moyes believes he will continue to play for the club. He added:
"Well, Declan's under a long contract here, under a long length of contract. So from that point of view we've not got a big panic on.
"We will keep Declan as long as we possibly can, we've no intentions of selling him. If we ever had to, I've said already many, many times what it would be - shoot to the moon.
"Overall he's done a great job. Hopefully he keeps driving the team on and I hope we continue to add good players to play with and around Declan.
