West Ham boss Moyes: Rice would walk into Man City XI

West Ham United manager David Moyes believes he has a player who could get into the Manchester City team.

Pundits have been raving about City this season, especially in the past few weeks.

Many in England now say that no Premier League player could improve City's first eleven.

Moyes, however, disagrees and stated to reporters: “Declan (Rice) is improving all the time.

“He's still young, and he's got a long way to go, but he's improving.

“He's earned his right to play for England and every time he's come back from playing for England, I've seen someone new - with more confidence, with more about his game.

“He's got leadership and things which will improve with age and time. But overall, he's been very good. Declan could play for any club. No doubt about that. He can play different roles as well.

“He could quite easily fill in as a defender if required. He could play as an attacking midfield player. He could play as a No 6. He's got the ability to play in several different roles."
