West Ham midfielder Rice: Moyes always demanding better from me

West Ham midfielder Declan Rice admits he's grateful to David Moyes for improving his game.

Rice credits Moyes with helping him go to the next level.

“He is constantly demanding the best," Rice told the London Evening News. “He is not scared to tell you whether you are having a bad game, whether you are training bad, whether you need to improve in different areas.

“His team of staff around him are constantly pulling you to watch different clips and seeing how you can improve. He is not one that is happy with a win. We'll always go into it with full detail and I think that's the reason why we keep progressing as well as we have.

“We know what the manager has done. We were fighting relegation and the objective that season was just to stay in the Premier League and build the season after — and we did that.

“We really pushed on and credit to the manager, the staff and all the players who pulled together and achieved what we wanted to achieve. We are in the Europa League, big game against Sevilla coming up. It is everything we've all dreamed of."
