Manchester City learns by asking Declan Rice

The Englishman was the Hammers' best player this season and was also England's standout player at Euro 2020 earlier this year. As a result, City have looked to Rice as a potential replacement for club legend and veteran Fernandinho.

Fernandinho came close to leaving the club last summer, but the Cityzens wanted to keep him for another season, but with Rodri gaining time on him, the Brazilian's time at Etihad finally appears to be over.

Rice is a player Pep Guardiola admires. The starting midfielder has already established himself as one of the best players in his position and is only 22 years old.
