Former striker Emile Heskey has described Declan Rice as an ambassador of football that reminds him so much of James Milner.
I"t’s exactly what I expected to be honest with you. He’s a fantastic player [and] he’s an ambassador for football," he said.
"He lets his football do the talking. He doesn’t need to be ranting and raving about anything, he just lets his football do the talking.
"He’s quite simple in everything that he does, but he’s effective in everything that he does. He probably reminds me a bit of James Milner back in the day.
"He’s probably [an] eight to nine of 10 every week – and that’s the consistency and the level that you need to be playing with at Arsenal, because you can’t afford to drop. And they can’t afford to drop points either because City won’t be."
Rice has continued to earn wave reviews for hitting the ground running at Arsenal. The Englishman was yet again crucial for the Gunners in the win over Sevilla.
