Declan Rice is confident he will improve under Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta.
The 105m signing from West Ham admits working with Arteta did influence his decision to join the Gunners.
He said: I know I have so many more levels I can get to and I can see how Mikel Arteta has improved all the players he's worked with.
The other day he said he sees me like a lighthouse and that was a really special thing for me to hear.
He's a really good psychological coach who makes you want to do everything for him and if everyone pulled in the right direction with Mikel, I really feel we can achieve special things."
Rice also said: "Arsenal have already won the FA Cup and the Community Shield under Mikel. Now I think it's time to deliver the Premier League title.
"I know I have just been bought for 105million and obviously that is going to raise expectations and scrutiny on me.
"Everyone has their opinion and I can't control what people will say, but if you're going to judge me, don't do it over one year, do it over the course of my six-year contract."
