West Ham United defender Declan Rice admits he admires the style of play of Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos.

Writing for whufc.com, Rice stated: "These days, I love watching Sergio Ramos play at Real Madrid.

"His level of play over the last few years has been ridiculous and he's been so renowned for winning trophies, both with Real Madrid and Spain.

"He's been playing at the highest level for a long time, he wears the captain's armband and he shows unbelievable levels of desire and commitment every time he plays.

"Sergio Ramos is more likely to bring the ball out from the back than someone like John Terry and I really enjoy watching him play.

"He has won it all and any footballer would aspire to achieve what he has achieved in his career – and it's not over yet!"
