Bukayo Saka on Arsenal and England teammate Declan Rice
Saka has said that Rice is “unbelievable”.
The 24-year-old joined Arsenal from London and Premier League rivals West Ham in the summer of 2023.
Rice has made an immediate impact at the Gunners and has already established himself as a key figure in manager Mikel Arteta’s team.
The England international has scored one goal in four Premier League matches for Arsenal so far this season.
Saka said about Rice: “He looks even better to me. He is unbelievable.”
Declan Rice a big player for Arsenal and England
In our view, Declan Rice is one of the best midfielders around and is a key figure for Arsenal and for England.
Rice has grown and developed as a player over the years.
While the England international is a defensive midfielder by trade, he does have the ability to drive the team forward and can be a problem for the opposition defences when he marches on in attack.
Rice has been playing regular first-team football for a number of years now, and that has certainly helped in his growth and development.
The midfielder has made 208 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.
Rice has scored 11 goals and given 10 assists in those games.
Let us not forget that Rice can also operate as a defender.
And he is only 24.
Rice has the potential to get even better and become a truly world-class midfielder in the coming years.
