Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero has claimed Chelsea and Manchester United transfer target Declan Rice is as good as Manchester City midfielder Rodri, Barcelona midfielder Busquets and Manchester United midfielder Casemiro.

“For me he is a great player and is at the same level as the best midfielders like Busquets, Rodri and Casemiro,” Aguero said of Rice in an interview with Stake.

“It seems to me that he is valued. What happens is that with him not being in a ‘Big Six’ team, he does not get talked about as much.

“But he has proven himself and I think he is one of the strengths of the England team at the World Cup.”
