We are firmly into the Euros now and Jude Bellingham and Trent Alexander-Arnold have both shown some love towards one Premier League star.
The England pair were on hand to help the Three Lions ease past Serbia last night, with Bellingham even getting the winning goal to continue his fine major tournament form.
Of course, Bellingham is the jewel in the crown for England right now but there are a number of other talents around him also doing the business.
One of those talents playing well in the same midfield area is Arsenal midfielder, Declan Rice.
Rice helped the Three Lions to the win last night and like Bellingham, is one of the first names on the team sheet for Gareth Southgate.
And after posting about the win against Serbia on his Instagram account, both Bellingham and Trent Alexander-Arnold were quick to laud the Gunners star.
Jude Bellingham and Trent Alexander-Arnold both impressed with Declan Rice
Taking to the comments section on Insta, both Bellingham and Trent ensured they got their praise in for Rice.
Declan Rice can be England’s top midfielder
While the headlines will go to Jude Bellingham if he continues to score goals and produce the goods, there is no doubt that Declan Rice serves an equal important role in the team.
We all saw with Arsenal last season and West Ham in the years prior just how good Rice can be and he showed last night he is more than fine in that deeper role.
England can go all the way in this tournament and have some of the very best midfielders in the game.
Rice, then, could well end up being the best of the lot and if he can surpass Bellingham’s impact, then the Three Lions won’t be too far away.
