Michael Owen Compares Declan Rice To Liverpool Legend Steven Gerrard

Michael Owen has compared Declan Rice to Steven Gerrard. While covering England's game against Hungary, the former Liverpool striker stated that Rice's abilities are akin to that of Gerrard's.

"That central midfield role is one of the most disciplined.

“I played with one of the very best in Steven Gerrard. He was actually a bit too good to sit there and be disciplined. It was a bit too exciting for him to see a chance to get forward. He was almost better than the central midfield role.

“He does show signs of a Steven Gerrard – big, powerful, long action, a brilliant passer of the ball.

"He's not just a central midfielder anymore. He breaks the game up so well, and now he's opening up and adding those long runs to his game, becoming an all-round player."
