At West Ham, I was the last person to be offered a scholarship. I remember an Under 18 match against Fulham. I was 16 and had to prove myself. Everyone else already had their scholarship. It was probably one of my best games. Knowing that every day I’d have to fight has made me into the person I am today. Declan Rice Read Quote
I know that nothing can be taken for granted, and there is still a lot of hard work ahead of me. However, I am looking forward to the challenge of trying to prove to the England manager that I am worthy of a place in his team, and hopefully continuing to progress my career in the right direction.

It’s crazy to be spoken about like Mascherano. He’s won everything: Champions League, La Ligas; he’s been at World Cups. Declan Rice Read Quote
I was released by Chelsea at 14 years old. I remember it, a Tuesday night. On the Wednesday, I was training with Fulham, five minutes from my house, and then on the Thursday, I was training with West Ham. After one session at both clubs, they both wanted me. Declan Rice Read Quote
The likes of Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling – they give you all the confidence you need. They give you little pats on the back, tell you you’re doing well. Declan Rice Read Quote
