He’s playing at a high level, Pep Guardiola would have help him to become the best player in the world if he had joined City”- Man United legend Rio Ferdinand praises Arsenal star who he wished is a city player instead of Arsenal

Rio Ferdinand, a Manchester United legend, recently praised an Arsenal player, Declan Rice, who has exceeded expectations since joining the club.

Despite initial doubts about Rice’s £105 million price tag, Ferdinand highlighted the transformative effect he has had on Arsenal’s performance.

He compared Rice’s assimilation into the team to his own experience as a high-priced transfer and emphasized the immediate impact he has made in the midfield.

Rice played a crucial role in Arsenal’s second-place finish last season and has impressed in recent matches against Manchester United and Everton.

Ferdinand noted that Rice’s exceptional form has silenced the initial discussions about his transfer fee. He also highlighted how Rice’s integration has strengthened Arsenal’s defense, bringing stability and composure to their play.
