Declan Rice is a vital player for Arsenal as they chase the Premier League title.
Cesc Fabregas was a great player in the Premier League and he gave suggestions to Mikel Arteta to get the best version of Arsenal’s record summer signing, Declan Rice.
The Englishman joined the Gunners from West ham for a record British transfer fee. He is a vital player for Arsenal as they chase the Premier League title. He has played as a holding midfielder and a box-to-box midfielder.
Fabregas admits Mikel Arteta can get the most out of the English midfielder if he is allowed to play as a box-to-box midfielder rather than a holding midfielder.
Fabregas spoke to Premier League Productions via quotes by 90min, “Rice’s physicality allows him to cover so much of the pitch that sometimes, as a lone No 6, you lose a big part of his capabilities, especially physically. He has grown with the ball.
“I think he is capable of giving final balls now, even to go to the edge of the area like Rodri. We have seen him a couple of times, edge of the box, Champions League finals, and scored the goals. Rice has that talent, as well.”
The Englishman has scored just one goal in 11 appearances for Arsenal this season. Rice has tried nine shots, four of which have been on target. He has the potential to make more opportunities.
