Rice played three games for the Republic of Ireland but all of them were friendlies meaning he is still eligible to play for the England national team.
And the buzz around the footballing circuit was that Declan Rice could swift his national loyalties.
Last week Shay Given had accused the England manager and his staff of getting into the head of the youngster and now reports are coming out of England that the midfielder has made up his mind.
Gareth Southgate’s No.2 Steve Holland was present during the West Ham vs Man United game in which Declan Rice played a very influential role and now the England manager is confident that the youngster will play for the Three Lions.
