'Rice is in the top three midfielders in the world': Ian Wright
Arsenal legend Ian Wright has lavished praise on Declan Rice, calling him one of the top three midfielders in the world following a standout performance for the Gunners.
Speaking on his recent displays, particularly in Arsenal's back-to-back wins, Wright hit out at critics, pointing to Rice's continued improvement and versatility.
"Nobody can ever question Declan Rice. You see all these podcasters being disrespectful, but Declan Rice, over two games, absolutely wiped the floor with that team with his performance. It was a performance where you’re looking at a player and you’re thinking: yeah, we know he’s good and he’s getting better.
"We saw the two goals for Arsenal last week that we haven’t seen before. We’ve seen on a weekly basis that he’s just improving and getting better in any position that he’s asked to play in, whether that’s crashing the box, whether it’s six, whether it’s eight. He was everywhere! He was everywhere! As we sit here right now, he is in the top three midfielders in the world," Wright has stated.
