West Ham United youngster Declan Rice has earned great praise from Republic of Ireland supporters, who were impressed with his display against France.

Rice was selected to start in central midfield, as Ireland took on France in a friendly last night.

And the West Ham prospect’s performance continued to enhance his reputation.

Despite playing in a unfamiliar position, the 19-year-old West Ham prospect looked at home against France’s superstars.

And West Ham fans will be delighted to read Ireland supporters’ reviews of their star youngster.

Rice has played regularly in West Ham’s defence this season, with David Moyes showing great faith in him.

It is widely expected that Manuel Pellegrini will stick by Rice, who looks set to have a starring role again next term.

Ireland lost their friendly against France 2-0, with Olivier Giroud and Nabil Fekir both getting on the scoresheet.
