Arsenal star Declan Rice has promised to 'speak to Ben White' when they are back at the club in the hope that he'll 'change his mind on England' after speaking to Gareth Southgate about his future.
Arsenal star Declan Rice has promised to “speak to Ben White” when they are back at the club in the hope that he’ll “change his mind on England” after speaking to Gareth Southgate about his future.
In any case, while he’d likely have played a part against Brazil last time out following Kyle Walker’s injury, it does not look as if White will put on an England shirt any time soon unless he changes his mind. “I know Ben and Gareth spoke internally about it… I just hope he changes his mind. He’s such a good guy, he’s an unbelievable footballer,” he added.
Rice, who will captain the Three Lions on his 50th cap against Belgium, is already displaying the diplomacy that comes with captaincy by attempting to ensure a star player is on his side.
