Declan Rice made the right call by choosing to play for England, according to outspoken BT pundit Chris Sutton.

The West Ham midfielder made his first start for the Three Lions on Monday evening in the 5-1 win over Montenegro, despite having already played three times in non-competitive matches for the Republic of Ireland.

The 20-year-old’s decision drew a lot of debate when it was made, but Sutton believes that it was the right thing to do.

Posting on his personal Twitter account after Monday’s match, he said: “Raheem Sterling is ridiculous. Chelsea fans must be scratching their heads why Hudson Odoi hasn’t started a PL game and Declan Rice made the right call switching for footballing reasons.”
