#2 Declan Rice
Declan Rice, similar to Wan-Bissaka has been playing brilliantly since last season, but this is the season where he has really taken up his place as a regular starter in the West Ham lineup. The 20-year-old has been brilliant in the midfield for the Hammers.
Rice can play anywhere in the midfield, but he prefers to play in a deep-lying role, either in a midfield two or three. He has attributes similar to Sergio Busquets, he breaks up play, recovers the ball for his team, makes timely interceptions and has the character of a leader. The 20-year-old posses brilliant technical ability on the ball and can keep possession in tricky areas. Rice is only 20-years old but many believe that he will be the next captain of West Ham United.
In terms of stats in the Premier League this season, Rice averages 58 touches per game and posses a passing accuracy of 86 percent. He has won 64 percent of his tackles, made 39 interceptions and 42 clearances.
