England captain, Harry Kane, has predicted Arsenal midfielder, Declan Rice to shine for his country at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The Bayern Munich striker explained that Rice has been consistent with his performance so far, playing at a high level.
When asked which England player he expects to shine at the World Cup, Kane said (via HITC): “That is a good question. I look at someone like Dec [Declan Rice].
“I feel like he’s consistently been playing at a high level for a long period of time.
“You have kind of the mindset, maybe shifts a little bit, it’s not his first tournament. So, all those things kind of add up.
“So, yeah, but if I were to say anyone, I think Dec. I hope he has a great tournament, and yeah, I have a special feeling about him this summer.”
Rice was impressive for Arsenal in the 2025/26 Premier League season, helping the Gunners to win the Premier League title and reach the Champions League final, where they lost to Paris Saint-Germain.
