"Real Madrid have spoken to Rice's family"

In recent months, Declan Rice has not only been in the news for choosing to represent England at international level. The 20 year-old footballer can play as a centreback or a midfielder and has stood out as player with an enormous future in the Premier League.

Rice has played 35 games for the Londoners and has shown to be a reliable and quick defender who can play the ball out well.

Now, Scott Minto has linked the player with Real Madrid in a Malaysian television programme: "I heard that Real Madrid are knocking on his door and they have spoken to his family. I am not going to say who told me it, but it is a reliable source.

The ex-footballer gave a description of Rice for those who still do not know him: "He is physical, quick, he is incredibly mature for his age and he is improving a lot in every game he plays."

After playing 31 matches, 20 of them as a starter, last season, he has played 35 games for West Ham in the current one, 34 of them from the beginning. He has scored two goals and given one assist.
