Real scouts watch games like England-Denmark and realize that Declan Rice is a superstar DM while fans wait for him to have a good game before rating him.
Vestegaard another one. Real composure and real height for a CB.

Physically, Rice is like the midfield version of Virgil Van Dijk.
He is immense but has legs like a spindly winger. He turns sharp like a trailer on motorcycle wheels. He anticipates attacks and doesn't rush in — brainy. He could be using his size to rush in and dominate duels

but he doesn't. He anticipates the next action, blocks the passing lanes, trusts his own brain to win him the midfield battle over his brawn. Amazing.
Every single club in Europe in need of a DM should be fighting over him. He will, at least, reach Fabinho's level for sure.

But if everything goes well, Declan Rice has got the minerals to retire as a legendary DM. He is literally as physically outstanding as a CB. His passing is not yet fully developed but that's a by product of his circumstances. No reason he can't improve it.
