Fiorentina and Morocco star Sofyan Amrabat admits Declan Rice is a 'quality player' ahead of facing West Ham on Wednesday - but insists the Europa Conference League final will NOT be decided by their midfield duel

Sofyan Amrabat's breakthrough season with Fiorentina and Morocco could end in silverware on Wednesday, as the midfielder prepares to go head-to-head with West Ham captain Declan Rice in the Europa Conference League final.

Despite heaping praise on the England international, who is expected to leave the Irons this summer in a deal worth north of £100million, Amrabat has urged that their midfield duel will not decide Wednesday's final.

Although Fiorentina head into the clash as underdogs, the Morocco star has been involved in several upsets already this season, having knocked out Belgium, Spain and Portugal at the World Cup before falling to France in the semi-finals.
