Smith Rowe said about Rice: “Amazing player actually, leadership, just everything about his game really, I really like watching him play.

“He will definitely bring a lot to the team, and the fans should be excited as well.”

Rice is one of the best midfielders in the Premier League, and the summer signing is expected to play a big role for Arsenal.

The Gunners are aiming to win the Premier League this season and will also play in the UEFA Champions League.

The 24-year-old will have to protect the backline, and if Thomas Partey starts alongside him in midfield, then he could even be given the freedom to venture forward.

Rice is a very combative player who can hold his own in the middle of the park and does not shy away from a challenge.

We believe that the Englishman would be a huge success at Arsenal.

Meanwhile, Roy Keane has said that Arsenal have overpaid for Declan Rice.

According to The Sun, Arsenal paid London and Premier League rivals West Ham United an initial transfer fee of £100 million for rice.

Former Manchester United midfielder Keane believes that it was too much to pay for the 24-year-old England international midfielder.

The Mirror quotes Keane as saying about Rice: “He is obviously going to be surrounded by better players, different demands.

“If he is going to play a little higher up the pitch, I can think he definitely has that quality in terms of getting at more goals to him, he’s obviously got that physical strength, he can get in the box.

“They have obviously paid way too much for him. He’s certainly not worth over £100 million! But a really good player. We will find out over the next year or two how good Declan is.”
