Jamie Carragher rates Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice the best in the Premier League.
Writing in the Telegraph, the former Liverpool defender said: "There is no bigger compliment I can give to Rice than this: I would rather have him in my team than Rodri.
"The Manchester City midfielder has been arguably the best player in the Treble-winning side, alongside Erling Haaland and Bernardo Silva, and he scored the winner in the Champions League final. He is a brilliant player, but I would still rather have Rice.
"Not many footballers have the ability and personality required to go into a big club and instantly become one of the top men in the squad. Jude Bellingham has done it at Real Madrid and Rice has done the same at Arsenal. It already feels like he has been an Arsenal player for five years.
"For Arsenal, the move for Rice was a no-brainer. I believe we will be talking about him as an Arsenal great in seven or eight years, and that his 105 million fee will look like a snip. Ultimately, he could be for Arsenal what Virgil van Dijk has been for Liverpool. Van Dijk cost 75 million but, after everything he has achieved at Anfield, that fee is rightly regarded as a bargain.
"City were interested, of course, and there would have been no chance for Arsenal this season if Rice had gone to the Etihad instead of the Emirates. With him in their team, Arsenal have a player who will become a club legend and a man who could bring the Premier League title back to north London."
