Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips has been left very impressed by West Ham United’s Declan Rice on international duty.
Philips and Rice are often considered each other’s competition to break into the England team.
However, the Leeds and West Ham midfielders have actually partnered each other regularly over the past three games for their country.
England have won every match they have taken part in over past fortnight, with Phillips and Rice actually proving that they compliment each other well.
Rice arguably put in the more headline grabbing peformances, with the West Ham man actually claiming two Man of the Match awards.
And after his display against Poland the Leeds captain was quick to praise him on social media.
It is no surprise that Phillips picked Rice out for special praise after the international break.
The 22-year-old is now a vital player for both club and country, and seems to be getting better by the game at the minute.
