Declan Rice has been hailed after adding goals to his game for title-chasing Arsenal, with Ivan Toney and Chloe Kelly both reacting to his recent heroics.
Rice has become an important figure in Mikel Arteta’s side and his influence has stretched beyond midfield, with the England international chipping in at key moments. His latest decisive contributions have not gone unnoticed, earning praise from fellow internationals and a Lionesses icon.
Brentford striker Toney was among those to comment, calling for Rice to be pushed further forward as his finishing comes to the fore. “Get him up front,” Toney said, as the Arsenal man continues to show he can impact games in the final third.
England and Manchester City forward Kelly also joined in with her reaction, as Rice’s growing reputation as a match-winner gathered pace. The Lionesses star offered her own verdict, describing him as “too good” as Arsenal keep up their push at the top.
Rice’s performances have underlined why Arsenal invested heavily to bring him to the Emirates, with his energy, leadership and now goals making him one of the driving forces in their title chase. With praise coming from players across the England set-up, the midfielder’s all-round game is only drawing more attention.
