Arsenal legend Martin Keown has hailed Declan Rice and marked him as a complete player after the club convincing win against Bournemouth in the Premier League.
Keown revealed Arsenal’s most complete player during his punditry duty with BBC Sport, highlighting the important role the player played in the win over Bournemouth.
He said, “Declan Rice, the superlatives for him. He just keeps getting better. If ever a position or a club was ready-made for him, it is the Arsenal situation he finds himself in.”
“He is the complete player now for Arsenal. This was called the promised land, and it has taken nearly 20 years to get the atmosphere we have here, the unity between the fans and the players, and I think Declan embodies that.”
Declan Rice had been impressive this season, starting 34 out of 35 appearances. In addition, the midfielder had scored six goals and created seven assists.
The Mikel Arteta side came out victorious against Bournemouth, with Bukayo Saka scoring the first goal of the game via penalty after Kai Havertz went down in the penalty box.
Leandro Trossard scored the second goal of the game in the 70th minute before the Bournemouth goal was controversially ruled out for a foul on Arsenal Goalkeeper David Raya.
Declan Rice scored the third goal of the game in the 97th minute with an assist from Gabriel Jesus, with the Arsenal team staying on the top of the Premier League ahead of Manchester City. The Gunners are currently leading Manchester City by a point.
The Arsenal football team will play Manchester United and Everton before the season ends. Manchester City, on the other hand, will play against Fulham, Tottenham, and West Ham United.
The Pep Guardiola team have been tipped to end the season with the Premier League title for the fourth time in a row, with Arsenal ending the season as runner-up for the second time in a row.
Can Arsenal win the Premier League at the end of the season?
Winning the Premier League demands some level of consistency, which has been the only thing Arsenal lack this season. Last season, they were on top of the Premier League for more than 200 days but couldn’t lift the league.
Manchester City have been the most consistent team in the Premier League this season, with 20 matches unbeaten.
It will be extremely difficult for Arsenal to compete with a team that has failed to taste defeat in the last 20 matches in the Premier League.
The Manchester City team are capable of beating any football team in the Premier League this season, and it is one of the best teams ever assembled by Pep Guardiola.
