Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice has been honored as the club's Player of the Season for the 2024–25 campaign, securing 52% of the fan vote.
Since his record-breaking £105 million transfer from West Ham United in July 2023, Rice has become an indispensable figure in Mikel Arteta's squad. In his second season with the Gunners, he made 37 appearances across all competitions, contributing four goals and providing crucial defensive stability in midfield.
Rice's standout performances were pivotal in Arsenal's third consecutive second-place finish in the Premier League and their qualification for the UEFA Champions League. Notably, his long-range strike secured a 1-0 victory over Newcastle United, underscoring his ability to influence high-stakes matches.
Beyond club accolades, Rice's exceptional form earned him a spot in the 2024–25 UEFA Champions League Team of the Season. His consistent performances have drawn praise from pundits, with Jamie Carragher likening his impact to that of Roy Keane and suggesting Rice could become an Arsenal legend.
