Declan Rice has been outstanding in Arsenal’s midfield; many Premier League fans will attest to this. The Gunners were looking for midfield dominance, and for £105 million, they got someone who could give them that.
The ex-West Ham man has quickly become an essential element of Mikel Arteta’s engine room thanks to his superb defensive talents and ability to create space for his teammates. His presence has not only boosted Arsenal’s defence, but it has also created a framework for attacking players to just focus on attacking.
Declan Rice has had a significant impact on Arsenal’s midfield play since joining in a record-breaking transfer deal. His outstanding qualities have boosted Arsenal’s performance, providing the ideal blend of defensive steadiness and attacking power.
Rice’s ball-winning ability and tactical awareness have created a strong defensive foundation, while his accurate distribution and forward-thinking play have substantially boosted Arsenal’s attacking possibilities. As a result, his arrival has led Arsenal to an astonishing display of variety and effectiveness across the board, transforming the Gunners midfield into a formidable force to be reckoned with.
Gooners can look forward to a dynamic and influential presence that will surely have an impact on the team’s performance for many years to come.
Arteta’s satisfaction with his midfielder’s play following the win over Wolves is understandable; the 24-year-old has never disappointed him.

Rice worth every penny
With partey out and xhaka leaving, we’d be nowhere without rice. I wasn’t 100% on his signing over the summer, but i couldn’t be any more convinced about him now – he’s a brilliant player and I love his attitude to the game. Definitely a leader on the pitch.
We just need to find a good partner for him – trossard did well in the last game, and havertz may yet come good, but i think we need a proper pivot / deep playmaker to enable us to dominate the big games
Rice Luiz Odegaard would be one of the toughest midfield around they’d complement one another greatly Luiz has great defensive stats similar to Rice but his attacking stats are looking very good too he has five goals to his name he’s that all-rounder that could benefit us lots
I agree… And I also feel we underpaid for Rice
