Odumodublvck picks Rice as England’s best player
Odumodublvck, speaking on a podcast with ESPN Africa, has named Arsenal star Declan Rice as Gareth Southgate’s most important player, even ahead of Harry Kane.
“If England should draw out their team sheet today, apart from Harry Kane, he's the first guy on the team sheet,” he said.
“If I'm sincere, England can do without Kane, they can't do without Declan [Rice]. Nobody can do what he does for Arsenal and England. He's the cornerstone and foundation.”
“Without Declan, there's no England. No Declan, no England. Simple,” he added.
Odumodu, as he is shortly referred to, released a viral hit, “Declan Rice,” named after the former West Ham star, in March 2023 and met the footballer in London.
As seen in one of his viral tweets, he tipped the 24-year-old to win the 2023 FIFA Best Award after leading West Ham to UEFA Europa Conference League glory.
The award was eventually won by Lionel Messi, and he would have no complaints as he is a Barcelona fan and regards the Argentine as the GOAT.
Odumodu defends Victor Osimhen
Legit.ng previously reported that Odumodublvck defended Victor Osimhen during the striker’s social media rage with former Super Eagles coach Finidi George.
The artiste claimed the fighting spirit shown by the Napoli forward is the type needed at Arsenal, with the Premier League club having transfer interest in the player.
