Declan Rice is one of the Premier League's most eye-catching young players. According to 'The Sun', Manchester City are considering signing the West Ham defensive midfielder as a future replacement for Fernandinho.

Manchester City returned to winning ways in the Premier LeaguePep Guardiola's men took all three points in their last league game against Burnley to move into third place in the table, behind Liverpool and Chelsea. The Reds are one point ahead and the Blues two.

In the Champions League they are not enjoying a good moment, as they lost 2-0 to PSG and were relegated to third place, one point behind Brugge. However, the English club's directors are already looking to the future and are studying the market for possible signings.

One player on the list is West Ham defensive midfielder Declan Rice. According to 'The Sun', the Sky Blues have set their sights on the young midfielder for next season. The intention is to replace Fernandinho, who is getting fewer and fewer opportunities.

The 21-year-old midfielder played a key role for England at the last Euros and reached the final. Last year, he played 35 games for the Hammers (all of them as a starter), gave one assist and scored two goals.
