We return to West Ham’s training ground for another episode of Ramble Meets… where this time we’re joined by West Ham and England midfielder Declan Rice.
When he began to train with the West Ham first team at just seventeen, Declan always had an unrelenting focus and desire to become a professional footballer. In this exclusive interview, the England player talks to Luke about his time in the youth setup and the paramount importance of working hard, regardless of talent. He also discusses his burgeoning West Ham career, why he wasn’t nervous when making his England debut and the chances of him returning to centre back in the future.
