West Ham defender Angelo Ogbonna supports Declan Rice's commitment to England.

Rice may still be under fire for defecting from the Republic of Ireland to England but Ogbonna - born in Italy - has solidarity.

“Declan grew up here," he told the Mirror.

“For me you could say 'Angelo, your parents are Nigerian but I grew up in Italy.

"I grew up with the Italian culture so it was much easier to choose Italy."
