And Martin, who played for the east London club between 1976-96, echoed these views and believes the top sides in the Premier League should seriously consider trying to buy Rice in the summer.Martin told talkSPORT after the game:Declan looks a high calibre player.This doesnt please me to say this but I think now the bigger clubs in the division will be looking at him and thinking he will fit in to our team a team thats looking to win the title. Thats the sort of player I think hes got the potential to be. He might not be there yet but I think it would be foolish for one of the top clubs not to look at him now and seriously think about taking him.I used to look at Rio Ferdinand at West Ham and think I cant believe Manchester United or Arsenal didnt come in and get him [until after he signed for Leeds]“Because if you come and get him two or three years down the line then youre going to have to pay a lot more money for him.Hes going to cost a lot more now that hes just signed a long-term contract so West Ham are in a really great position.Ferdinand left West Ham for Leeds before moving to Manchester United in 2002 for 30million3

As well as potentially having to make a difficult decision on where he will be playing his football next summer, Rice must also decide who he wants to represent internationally.London-born Rice is eligible for England or the Republic of Ireland as that’s where his father is from.But Martin believes Rice is more than capable of playing for the Three Lions.Martin added:Declan, I believe, is someone who is destined to play for England if its hearts in it. Hes good enough to play in that midfield area.Rice appears to be improving with every game he plays3
