West Ham have struggled to maintain their consistency this season despite spending big in the summer transfer window. However, one player who has been an epitome of consistency this season for the Hammers is young midfielder Declan Rice.

The 19-year-old has been outstanding in almost every single game. While the club are dithering to offer him the contract he wants, on the pitch he is buzzing with confidence at the moment.

Against Burnley, he made two tackles and four clearances. He attempted 53 passes with nearly 85% accuracy. While summer signing Felipe Anderson stole the show as West Ham won 4-2 against Burnley, the Hammers fans are drooling over Rice once again.

Many believe he has the potential to become a “world class” player in the future. There are others who are urging the club to give him a fat contract he duly deserves.

Rice is in excellent form at the moment, and West Ham should not hesitate to tie him down to a lucrative deal as early as possible.

Declan Rice and Grady Diangana, the two youngest players on the pitch yesterday, were absolutely brilliant once again.

Get them both tied down to new contracts that they deserve and then the future is looking bright. #WHUFC #COYI
