DECLAN RICE decided to have the sweetest of send-offs for Euro 2024 by dining out with his family.
Dining with childhood love Lauren Fryer and their 22-month-old son Jude, the England midfielder appeared tremendously at ease and even signed autographs outside.
Before the tournament of the Three Lions’ aspirations, they selected the restaurant of football superstars, Novikov in London.
Celebrity footballers Wayne Rooney, John Terry, Harry Kane, Ronaldo, Neymar, and Paul Pogba have all frequented the Mayfair eatery.
At a mouthwatering £125, main courses include sea bass coated with crudaiola sauces.

Seafood-topped black pizza will cost you £58, while wood oven roasted langoustines will cost you £50.
Wearing a light-green sweatshirt and dark-green cap, Rice carried Jude and peered around the establishment, which charges £26 for a two-course lunch.
He did, however, beam broadly when he wrapped his arms around two admirers for a picture that one of their friends had snapped.
One of England’s biggest hopes for the Euros in Germany is this £115 million Arsenal player, mostly because of his midfield relationship with Jude Bellingham.
As long as rice has been with Lauren, which is over eight years, the two are youthful and competent enough to be partnered together.
Rice will soon be heading to Germany with the rest of the England squad
