Declan Rice has revealed the incredible gift he received from pop mega star Ed Sheeran following his heroics for Arsenal against Real Madrid.
Rice and Sheeran's unlikely link up dates back to the England camp during Euro 2020, when the then-West Ham midfielder joined the artist for a duet of the Oasis hit Wonderwall.
'Incredible, amazing, so good, and obviously to see Ed and sing with him was another of the great experiences from the Euros.' Rice told Mail Sport in 2021.
Four years on, Rice - now firmly established as one of the world's best midfielders - has been challenged to play the guitar for their next musical collaboration in a touching message written on the gift from the famed Ipswich Town supporter.
