Gary Neville claims Declan Rice can deliver the Premier League title for Arsenal

Manchester United legend Gary Neville believes that Declan Rice could be a game-changer for Arsenal this season and help deliver the Premier League title.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Manchester United legend Gary Neville believes that Arsenal summer signing Declan Rice could finally deliver a Premier League title for the Gunners.

The North Londoners came close to winning the league title last season, but Manchester City managed to overtake them eventually. Arsenal will be hoping to go all the way this time around, and they have certainly started the season well.

Gary Neville believes that Manchester City could have a stumble in the coming months and that Arsenal could take advantage of their slip-up. The former Manchester United defender added that the Gunners would not be able to compete with Manchester City without Rice in the middle of the park. His combative presence and drive have added a new dimension to the Arsenal side this season.

“Probably. I think he is a big influence Declan Rice. That power, that drive. They’ve got brilliant players City anyway. But taking him out of Arsenal makes a huge difference, they wouldn’t be good enough. With him in it he can be a difference player and he gives them a real chance. I’m predicting City might have a bit of a stumble this season and I suspect Arsenal get it right this season.”

The Gunners spent a club-record fee to land the England international, who has managed to hit the ground running for his side so far. The 24-year-old is well-settled in the Premier League, and it is hardly a surprise that he is performing at a high level at his new club.

Arsenal lacked a proper defensive cover and physicality in the middle of the park last season, and Rice will certainly help them dominate games. Given the kind of money Arsenal paid for him, they will certainly be hoping that Rice can make a defining impact and help them win major trophies this season.

Rice is undoubtedly one of the best defensive midfielders in the league, and he helped West Ham United win the UEFA Europa Conference League last season. He will certainly be determined to prove himself at the highest level and helping Arsenal win the league title would be a tremendous achievement.
