Arsenal’s £100 million signing of West Ham midfielder Declan Rice last summer initially sparked debates about overpayment, but Rice impactful performances in an attacking role have silenced critics as Arsenal leads the Premier League. With Manchester City as their upcoming challenge, Rice role will be crucial especially given City failed attempt to sign him last summer.
Rice has significantly altered Arsenal’s midfield dynamic, pairing with Kai Havertz this season while showing exceptional passing accuracy and forward ball-carrying ability. Former players and pundits hail Rice influence, labeling him a “bargain” and crediting him for Arsenal improved solidity and midfield dominance.
Rice personal transformation is evident in his increased attacking contributions with more goals and assists compared to his time at West Ham. As he adapts to Arsenal’s system under Mikel Arteta, Rice versatility and impact continue to grow earning praise from both club and national team managers alike.
