Declan Rice delivered another top-class performance for Arsenal in their 2-0 win against Brighton yesterday and has earned praise for it.
The midfielder has been a superb addition since Arsenal acquired him in the summer.
Mikel Arteta courted him for a year and had to fend off competition from Manchester City to sign the Englishman.
The Gunners broke their transfer record to make the move happen, yet Rice’s performance has made the transfer look like a steal.
The former West Ham player has hardly put a foot wrong since moving to the club and was pivotal to the win against Brighton.
After the game, an impressed Clinton Morrison said on the BBC:
“Rice has been outstanding. He’s a big influence on this team.
“He covers the ground, he drives forward and he intercepts. He does it all. I think he’s magnificent.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Rice has been such a good signing and has justified why he should be our record buy for a long time.
However, this is just the start of the season and his level of performance mustn’t drop for the rest of the campaign.

What a signing, Arsenal may have miss the bullet again with the Caicedo kid, now another Chelsea player.
Declan is an Arsenal legend in the making.
Couldn’t get to see game today but had to rely on MOTD. Just snippets but Big Dec is turning into Mr Arsenal. What a player. Well done today. I saw most of Liverpool v utd and Liverpool looked poor. Big game against them and we must beat them.
I was in a similar position yesterday and Declan Rice is one of Arsenal’s best buys for a number of years. He looks totally at ease on and off the pitch.
Love Declan
Only wish Partey could play too
Rice is on song, what a performer.
I Don’t miss Granit Xhaka’ neither do I miss Injury Prone Thomas Partey at all. Declan Rice definitely have exceeds all Expectations rolling that Midfield alone, Both B2B And DM role all at once. Now imagine what/How He’ll(Rice) and a Fully Fit Thomas Partey would bring to the table when partnered together. TERRIFIC I fear..
Let’s wait and see If Partey would still be with us come January.
Agree
It’s D.Rice that is replacing Xakha not Havertz as the German is a totally different player
He’s the best in that position since Vieira, maybe even better than.
Better than Vieira? No
Not so much an article, but simply a SHORT statement of fact.
