Declan Rice: England is the only option Danny Murphy explains why West Ham ace should reject Republic of Ireland
Declan Rice only has one option when it comes to the decision over his international future – and thats England, according to Danny Murphy.The West Ham starlet, who turned 20 on Monday, has yet to officially decide whether to represent England or Republic of Ireland at international level.2

Declan Rice scored a dream first goal for West Ham against London rivals Arsenal

London-born Rice, whose grandparents are from Cork, has already made three senior appearances for Ireland – but he can still switch his allegiance to England.The Three Lions have been interested in the starlet ever since he burst onto the scene for West Ham last season.And they will be even more determined to sway him after his brilliant performances this term including his man-of-the-match display and winning goal against Arsenal this weekend.

Also, holding midfield is the one area in the England squad thats up for grabs, for me.You look at Dier, Henderson, who else is there?Declan Rice is probably looking around thinking hes not scared of any of the other players in terms of competition.
