West Ham captain Declan Rice has praised the performance of Chelsea star Joao Felix in Chelsea’s 1-1 draw against West Ham on Saturday.

“I’ve played against a lot of midfielders and No.10s and the first 10 or 15 minutes today as a player you know a top player,” Rice told Stadium Astro.

“The way he worked from side to side to get on the ball and find space he’s an unbelievable player.

“I noticed that straight away. You have to be really on your game with players like him.”
