England and Manchester United legend Teddy Sheringham believes Declan Rice is the best English player in the Premier League.
Rice joined Arsenal from fellow London club West Ham and has become a fan favourite.
Sheringham hailed the midfielder’s leadership qualities saying he is one of the main reasons why the Gunners are now title contenders.
“Declan Rice is the best English player in the Premier League. He makes a big difference to the teams that he plays in, whether he’s playing for England or Arsenal.
“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’re going to do today. I love his leadership qualities and his ability.
“That’s what top players do. They set the example for the rest of the players to follow, and they bring people on the journey with them, having an impact on other players that improves the entire team.
“He’s been a fantastic signing for Arsenal, and he’s a big reason why they are where they are now and competing at the top end of the division.”
