We've found the perfect replacements for Declan Rice... Image
The realistic pick from our data-inspired shortlist was Valentin Rongier.

Marseille's club captain can help replace Rice's qualities both on and off the pitch.

But it sounds like Edson Álvarez is the most likely signing in the 'real world'. 😅

The wildcard shout is Ibrahim Sangaré.

Nottingham Forest have reportedly made an approach for the Côte d'Ivoire Player of the Year so West Ham would need to act quickly.

An under-the-radar pick is Ben Sheaf.

A former Arsenal academy graduate, Sheaf was a penalty shootout away from becoming a Premier League player with Coventry City.

Before you ask, here's João Palhinha's radar.

The Portuguese midfielder is an incredible player but profiles more like a Tomáš Souček upgrade.

Palhinha would be a brilliant partner for the Rice replacement.

Mats Wieffer is the dream pick.

Like Rice, he is comfortable playing in a deeper role but also enjoys carrying the ball forward.

And he even provides some Soucek-like qualities.

The Squawka Suggestion is Youssouf Fofana.

The Frenchman matches Rice's physical, box-to-box profile and can impact the game in any part of the pitch.

José Mourinho: The Special One™
José Mourinho won the Primeira Liga, Taça Portugal and Porto's first-ever UEFA Cup trophy in his first full season in charge of the club.

No team outside the 'big five' leagues has won the competition since. Image
In 2004/05, José Mourinho's first season at Chelsea, he became the youngest manager in Premier League history to win the title.
