D-DAY FOR DEC

-

BRIGHTON boss and Republic of Ireland legend Chris Hughton says he cannot advise West Ham’s Declan Rice to choose England or Ireland. The 19-year-old defender has three caps for the Republic but has asked for a ‘time out’ from internatio­nal football to decide whether to declare for England instead. Essex-born Hughton (left) said: “He’s the one who has to make the decision. He’s a very, very good young player. I did have an official approach from the Irish FA and I didn’t think twice about it.”
