Declan Rice's decision to join Arsenal over Manchester City has raised eyebrows, given City's recent dominance in the Premier League. However, Rice has revealed that he was drawn to Arsenal's "more exciting" project.
"I believe we're on to big things here," Rice said, despite Arsenal's 20-year title drought.
Rice's arrival has been compared to Manchester City's Rodri, a testament to his defensive prowess. However, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta envisions Rice as a number 6 rather than an 8, requiring him to contribute more offensively.
Arsenal's title hopes hinge on winning their remaining three matches and hoping Manchester City falters in their four. Liverpool's recent struggles have made the race a two-horse affair, with City holding a slight advantage with a game in hand.
Rice's six goals this season have been crucial, but he will need to continue scoring if Arsenal are to challenge for the title. The Gunners' European ambitions have been dashed after a disappointing Champions League campaign.
