‘He’s got everything’: Sebastien Haller raves about West Ham star Declan Rice
Former West Ham United striker Sebastien Haller has told that Declan Rice has all the tools to become a world-class player.
The uncompromising talisman left the London Stadium in January, signing for Ajax after just 18 months at the club.
Haller didn’t really take off during his time at West Ham and the club opted to accept a bid from the Dutch champions for the striker.
He found the net 14 times in 53 appearances for the Hammers and has started well at Ajax.
Appearing on the radio this afternoon he was quizzed about West Ham’s star attraction and had nothing but praise for Declan Rice.
The club’s captain has been in fine form this season, propelling the Hammers into genuine European contention.
West Ham’s former striker believes he has what it takes to get even better.
“He has everything, he’s still really young.
“Everyone sees what a good player is. He’s technically good, he’s strong and he’s a good captain.
“I can easily say during my time at the club he was top two when it comes to the most important players in the team.
“The only thing I can wish him is to become a world-class player because he has the potential for sure.”
TBR View: Big challenge for West Ham to keep the prized asset
Rice has been magnificent this season but a challenge appears to be on the horizon for David Moyes and the club’s hierarchy.
On current form, the 22-year-old will have the world’s biggest clubs circling him ahead of a potential move.
The Rice loves West Ham and is playing out of skin right now but it remains to be seen whether the Hammers can keep him.
Securing a place in Europe would certainly help and if they match his ambition then Rice could be tempted to stay.
It seems likely that the club’s board will have to match that ambition by signing quality players to play in the same team as him.
Some of the Premier League’s big hitters have been linked in the past and it’ll be interesting to see what happens if they come calling again in the summer.
