Declan Rice on 20-year-old midfielder Adam Wharton: “I
think there’s a difference, you can see in players who are top level players at
20 and players that are on the cusp of stuff.
“And he’s top level. He sees a
pass early, left and right foot. It’s impressive the way he passes a ball. Whether
it’s five or ten yards, there’s just a crispness to it. Really impressive.
Calm, composed, relaxed.
“You speak to the Crystal Palace boys about him, he’s
shocked them on how well he’s done.
“But he’s 20-years-old, it’s his first
tournament. It’s so important we don’t put too much pressure on him. Let him
flourish and England are going to have an amazing midfielder to come through
for the next 10 to 15 years.”
