Ex-French international, Emmanuel Petit has come out to say that Declan Rice is the best midfielder in the world. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, Rice already proved that he was more than worth £100 million last season, and the way he currently plays like the leader of the Arsenal team means he is definitely worth so much more now.
Petit added that it’ll be very expensive for any club that tries to sign Rice in the summer because he has proven to be a very quality player.
His words, “Declan Rice proved last season that he is worth £100 million and now he has taken that to the next level.
He proved he was a leader in the team last year, acting like a captain, every game he has been at his highest level. He looked tired after the Euros and picked up a silly red card, but he has step by step progressed to the very highest level.
He is worth £100 million without a doubt and it would be very, very expensive if a club tried to sign him from Arsenal.
Alongside Nicolo Barella at Inter, I would say that Rice is the best midfielder in the world at the moment. In Barella, there is a player that I’m not surprised has been linked to Real Madrid.”
WOW.
