David Moyes compares West Ham player to Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard

Declan Rice has earned himself a comparison to one of the Premier League's greatest midfielders and Liverpool legend, Steven Gerrard.

West Ham United manager David Moyes highlighted how having Rice in his midfield is similar to how Gerrard played for the Reds.

Rice scored West Ham's equaliser late in the game at non-league Kidderminster Harriers to avoid a huge FA Cup shock.

The superb strike took the fourth-round tie to extra-time and it stayed 1-1 until virtually the last kick of the match when reported Liverpool target Jarrod Bowen struck to earn the Hammers a 2-1 win.

Rice has been in fine form this season and has been linked to big-money moves to Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea.

Comparisons to Gerrard may be a bit premature, but Moyes wasn't holding back when he said: "He’s incredible, he really is.

"He reminds me of Steven Gerrard playing for Liverpool, the way he could carry games and win them for Liverpool. Declan can do that for West Ham.”
