In anticipation of their clash with West Ham, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta showers praise on Declan Rice, lauding the midfielder's stellar contributions.
Arsenal's manager, Mikel Arteta, has expressed admiration for Declan Rice, his team's record-breaking acquisition, ahead of their imminent Premier League encounter with West Ham. As the Gunners prepare to host their London rivals at the Emirates Stadium, Rice, who arrived from West Ham for a staggering £105 million this summer, is poised to feature prominently in the lineup.
Throughout the season, the English international has seamlessly integrated into the Arsenal squad, delivering match-winning performances that have endeared him to fans at the Emirates stadium. Arteta, reflecting on Rice's qualities both on and off the pitch, reminisced about facing the midfielder when he played for West Ham.
"I love his presence on the pitch. He’s there, and he’s got something special. I felt it when I played against him, that’s why I was eager to sign him. You get a feeling about players, and I wanted him to be part of our team," remarked Arteta on Rice's impact.
Rice, now a fan favorite at the Emirates, recently played a pivotal role in Arsenal's draw against Liverpool, showcasing his prowess even in the absence of the injured Thomas Partey. Arteta praised Rice's humility and eagerness to learn, emphasizing his potential for further growth, stating, "He is a really humble guy, and the way that he wants to learn and take positive criticism is really powerful. He has other levels to go."
As Arsenal prepares to face West Ham, all eyes will be on Declan Rice, the dynamic midfielder who has swiftly become an integral part of the Gunners' lineup.
