Man City great Aguero: West Ham midfielder Rice a great player

Manchester City great Sergio Aguero admits he's a fan of West Ham midfielder Declan Rice.

Aguero shared his verdict on Rice during an interview with Stake.

He said: "For me, he [Rice] is a great player and is at the same level as the best midfielders like [Sergio] Busquets, Rodri and Casemiro.

"It seems to me that he is valued. What happens is that with him not being in a big-six team, then he does not get talked about as much. But he has proven himself and I think he is one of the main strengths of the England team at the World Cup."

When pressed on England's chances, Aguero added: "I think they have a team to get excited about. They could not win the Euros, but they showed in that tournament that they are a team to be feared."
