Former Arsenal star, Ian Wright has named midfielder Declan Rice as the ‘difference-maker’ in the Gunners’ squad.
Wright said the England international can deal with any situation he finds himself.
According to him, Rice is an unbelievable player for Mikel Arteta’s side so far this season.
Wright spoke after Rice led Arsenal to beat Bournemouth 3-0 in the Premier League on Saturday.
“He [Rice] is the difference [maker] for us, in respect of being able to play any of those positions in the midfield,” Wright said on Match of the Day.
“He will find himself in any situation and he will be able to deal with this. He was all over the place… What Arsenal are doing is a lot down to this man.
“He has been unbelievable for Arsenal this season.”
Rice joined Arsenal from West Ham United for £100 million plus add-ons last summer.
He has made over 45 appearances across all competitions for Arsenal this season.
