BBC Sport pundit Chris Sutton has said that Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice could star for any team in the world.
The former Chelsea striker has said on BBC Radio 5 Live that Declan Rice has been an excellent signing for Arsenal.
Arsenal signed Rice from London and Premier League rivals West Ham United in the summer transfer window.
The England international has hit the ground running at the Emirates Stadium and has also established himself as a key figure in manager Mikel Arteta’s team.
Rice scored one of the goals for Arsenal in their win against Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium in North London in the Premier League this past weekend.
Praise for Arsenal summer signing Declan Rice
Sutton said about Rice: “I think if Declan Rice went to a club in Europe, he would be a good fit because the bottom line is he is an excellent footballer.
“He has fitted in seamlessly.”
The BBC Sport pundit added: “He is an excellent signing for Arsenal and would be for many years to come.”
Declan Rice is one of the best midfielders in the Premier League, and we are not surprised at all to see the Englishman already star for Arsenal.
Rice has fitted seamlessly into the Arsenal set-up.
And his importance in the Gunners’ team is only growing to grow.
Rice is just 24 now and is going to improve and develop in the coming years.
Arsenal are aiming to win the Premier League title this season and will also play in the UEFA Champions League.
Rice will have to be on top of his game for the Gunners to have a successful campaign.
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.
