West Ham midfielder Declan Rice has paid tribute to Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson.

The pair have lined up alongside each other on international duty this week.

Rice said, “I think if you look at Jordan what he's done in the game for his whole career really, but especially the last couple of years, I think it's so important for someone like me to be playing next to him, to learn, to get better.

“I think the main thing I pick up from him is we already know his qualities on the ball, but you don't realise until you're playing next to him his leadership qualities and what he actually brings to the team.

“He's non-stop, always on you in a good way, in a positive way and that gives you the confidence on the pitch to go out there and fight for the badge."
