Arsenal Paid Way Too Much For Rice – Roy Keane

Manchester United legend, Roy Keane has come out to say that he believes Arsenal paid way too much for Declan Rice this summer. He recently insisted that he is not a £100 million player, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, Arsenal definitely paid over the top for the English midfielder because he is just a good and strong footballer that will deliver physicality in the middle of the pitch.

Keane added that the only difference from his West Ham days would be being surrounded by better players.

His words, “He is obviously going to be surrounded by better players, different demands. If he is going to play a little higher up the pitch, I can think he definitely has that quality in terms of getting at more goals to him, he’s obviously got that physical strength, he can get in the box.”

“They have obviously paid way too much for him. He’s certainly not worth over £100 million! But a really good player. We will find out over the next year or two how good Declan is. He turns up every week, he is a big strong boy. We have talked about that physicality, they lacked that in the last month or two. Has he got that really top quality in terms of seeing a pass and getting nine or 10 goals? We’ll soon find out.”
