"Rice has impressed for Arsenal across all competitions, helping the Gunners sit top of both the Premier League and Champions League tables. They are also through to the EFL Cup semi-final, in which they will face Chelsea this month, and will begin their FA Cup campaign on Sunday against Portsmouth. In all competitions, Rice has netted four goals this term, including a double over Bournemouth last time out, and has also registered five assists, with only Leandro Trossard (six) having more."
"Rice told Sky Sports: "I'm just Dec from Kingston, ain't I. "Look, they're the right conversations to be in. Arsenal fans really appreciate what I'm doing for them at the minute, and it was West Ham fans before that, they were singing my praises. "When you're being compared to the best players in the world, it's nice, so long may that continue. It shows you're playing well, and you want to play at the highest level.""
