WEST HAM may have already found Declan Rice’s replacement in the form of youngster Freddie Potts.
The midfielder started in West Ham’s pre-season friendly win over Tottenham in Perth, Australia.
Freddie Potts, 19, lined up in holding midfield – the position vacated by Declan Rice following his £105million move to Arsenal.
He is the son of Hammers legend Steve Potts and brother of Dan Potts, of newly-promoted Luton.
And he appears to be highly rated by the club after recently signing a new three-year contract.
