Former English striker Teddy Sheringham spoke very highly about Arsenal star Declan Rice. He also spoke about the player’s importance for both club and country and displayed his high qualities.
Arsenal broke the club record fee to sign Declan Rice last year. They paid West Ham £105 million to secure Rice’s signature. Rice proved why Gunners were prepared to spend such a big amount in his first season at North London itself.
He played in all 38 Premier League games last season and helped Gunners to finish on the second position. Later, he played every minute of England’s run in the Euro 2024.
But this season, Rice missed some matches due to different reasons. He was suspended against Tottenham but Gunners still won that game. But they struggled without Rice recently against Inter and had to face a narrow 1-0 defeat.

Now, Teddy Sheringham has spoke about what makes Rice so important for the team. He was full of praise while speaking and displaying the qualities possessed by the 25 year old midfielder.
“Declan Rice is the best English player in the Premier League. He makes a big difference to the teams that he plays in, wheter he’s playing for England or Arsenal” – Sheringham praising Declan Rice.
“He’s a big plus when you see his name on the team sheet. He leads by example, and he drags people along with him and says this is what we are going to do today. I love his leadership qualities and his ability” – Sheringham speaking about Rice’s qualities.
Lastly, Sheringham said that Declan is doing what top players do. He added that top players set the example for the rest of the players to follow. He ended by saying Rice has been amazing for Arsenal and the Gunners are where they are now because of him. All the quotes are as per The Metro.
