Expert Praise for Declan Rice

"It is interesting watching Arsenal, because we talk about them every week, and it is the same old story isn't it? They keep a clean sheet and they deny opportunities, they work really hard and I don't like singling out just one player, because I feel like it is a team effort, and I have to give Arteta credit for building that. It looked like it was coming, couldn't quite get over the line, now it looks like it is back. But I have to identify Declan Rice. Declan Rice has taken his game to the next level, where you are talking about him being one of the best in world football."
