David Gold is trilled to bits that Declan Rice has made the Premier League breakthrough he truly believes is incredibly difficult for teenagers.

And he admits that once the boy establishes himself as a first time regular there will be nobody happier than him whilst sticking firmly to the view that it’s incredibly diffcult for teens to make it in the Premier League.

He said: “If Declan  proves me wrong  by becoming a first time regular there will be nobody happier than me.”

Manager Slaven Bilic showed his faith in the 18 year old when throwing him on at Old Trafford in the 61st minute and in his half hour on the pitch the under 23s skipper didn’t put a foot wrong.

And Gold said: ” He came on with 70 odd thousand watching and looked as though he had been doing it all his life – it’s a thrilling moment for him and the club.

“He has a lot of confidence and it was a privilege to see him perform so well against one of the world’s top clubs.

“It truly is not easy for teenagers to break into Premier League first teams whatever may be said and for West Ham to have produced a player of this quality at such a young age is er may be said and for West ham to have produced such a talent is truly wonderful”
