Paul Merson believes that Declan Rice's potential value could become quite impressive in the near future following the midfielder's performance against Manchester United.
The Arsenal match over the weekend was a rollercoaster of emotions, but they ultimately secured a victory, defeating their rivals with a score of 3-1.
Rice played a crucial role by scoring the Gunners' second goal during stoppage time. Since his arrival at the Emirates Stadium this summer, the England international has consistently performed well.
Merson commented on the player's influence, highlighting Rice's previous success at West Ham and stating that it's no surprise to see him continue to excel at Arsenal.
Speaking via Sky Sports about the Gunners' new star, the pundit said: “With Declan Rice, when you weigh him and Moises Caicedo up, it’s so different. Rice gives you everything. It’s 1-1 and Arsenal have really got to win the game if they want to keep tabs with Manchester City. He’s on and he scores the goal.
“On Saturday, Chelsea are 1-0 down and they take Caicedo off. They’re both holding-midfield players but one gives you a lot more. If Rice can throw goals into his game then I dread to think how much he’s worth.”
