Declan Rice's Stunning Performance at the Emirates

Declan Rice has quickly become the standout star at Arsenal, dazzling fans and football experts alike with a stellar performance against Real Madrid in the Champions League. The England international netted two phenomenal free-kicks, leading the Gunners to a commanding 3-0 victory, much to the delight of the Emirates Stadium crowd.

Fans Go Wild with Chants, But Arteta Has Other Thoughts

Following the match, ecstatic Arsenal supporters chanted, "We got him half-price!" celebrating Rice’s transfer fee of £100 million from West Ham as a bargain. After all, Rice has proven to be an invaluable asset since joining the team in the summer of 2023.

However, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta humorously disagreed with the fans’ sentiments. In a light-hearted press conference, when asked about the chant, Arteta simply said, "I don’t think so," leaving journalists and fans alike chuckling over his witty responses.

David Moyes: A Longtime Believer in Rice's Value

Former West Ham boss David Moyes knows Rice exceptionally well, having been his manager longer than anyone else in his career. Moyes has consistently argued that Rice’s worth far exceeds Arsenal’s hefty investment. Just before the Everton match, he boldly claimed that Rice should be valued at a whopping £150 million, suggesting that Arsenal still owes him £50 million.

With Rice’s performance continuing to speak volumes, it appears that the debate over his value will only heat up, while Arteta and the Gunners aim to maximize his explosive potential on the field.
