da luck: Declan Rice was the star of West Ham United’s XI on Sunday following the team’s Premier League clash against Chelsea.
Despite only being 19 years of age, the youngster more than held his own against a side that had won all five of their top-flight matches this season.
West Ham manager Manuel Pellegrini positioned Rice in a defensive midfield role following his impressive outing against Everton, in which the team earned their first league win of the campaign.
When up against Chelsea, Rice put in another solid display, preventing the Blues’ gifted stars from finding a way through.
The match ended in a goalless draw, and the youngster played a big role in securing a point for West Ham.
Running in the background, though, is a story about Rice’s contract situation.
The teenager has less than two years left until his current deal expires, but there has been no breakthrough with regards to fresh terms despite months of talks.
