I like him because he's a team player and I think, when you play in that position, you have to be the one who sacrifices yourself for the team, the Arsenal legend said of Rice. You have to win the ball and you have to give it to the players who can make the difference. It's a really difficult position because you work hard for the team but you may not get a lot of credit like the guys who score those goals.
Rice's performances have certainly caught the eye of Vieira, not least for his ability to improve those around him....When you're looking at the Arsenal from last year and I hope this year, you can see that he's making the team better.
Declan Rice is running things in the engine room for Arsenal. He has been a huge hit at the Emirates, registering seven goals and 10 assists in 52 appearances.
That was enough to help Arsenal finish second only to Man City in the Premier League title race, taking the battle all the way to the final day before ultimately settling for a silver medal.
