West Ham midfielder Declan Rice has hailed the impact of on-loan Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard.
Rice admits his West Ham teammates were immediately won over by his fellow England international.
The midfielder told BBC Sport: “Before he came to West Ham a couple of the assistant coaches, a couple of the players were asking, 'what's he like? Good player?'
"And I just said, 'wait until he comes and you'll see'.
“And I think in his first session the lads were just blown away by how good he was.
"Technically he's just so good. He picks up so many little spaces for a midfielder to pass into and without him at West Ham, I don't know where we would be."
