Declan Rice appreciates the influence of West Ham teammate Jack Wilshere.

He admits he gets along well with the former Arsenal star.

He said, “Me and Jack has been a surprise friendship. We get on so well, we're like best friends really. I go round to his house and we go for coffee together.

“He's been hindered by injuries, if you look at his career, but his quality cannot be taken away from him. He's a top player and even to be training with him is crazy because I grew up watching Jack Wilshere putting in performances on Match of the Day and against Lionel Messi in the Champions League in 2010, when he was only a kid. Sometimes I have to pinch myself.

“Jack has been great for me as have the other senior lads in the side."
