The milestones are coming around quickly for Declan Rice. Firstly there was the first trophy of his career when he won the Europa Conference League with West Ham in May. Then came a big-money move to a leading European team when Arsenal paid $138 million for his services in July.

How about finishing the biggest year of his life by helping to end England’s nearly 60-year wait for a trophy?“It’s the talk of the town before every major tournament for England — that’s the pressure with playing for England,” Rice said Monday. “But I think if you look at the players we have now, look at the level everyone is playing in terms of form, getting close at a World Cup in losing narrowly to France , lost the Euro final. I think we are close now. We really are close.
His face was a picture when, sitting alongside Gareth Southgate at Wembley Stadium on Monday, the England coach said the midfielder would be captain for the first time against Belgium the following day.Southgate clearly sees the 24-year-old Rice as being ready to move into England’s core leadership group, joining the likes of regular captain Harry Kane, Kieran Trippier, Kyle Walker and Harry Maguire — all of whom are missing Tuesday’s match because of injury.
