Arsenal star Emile Smith Rowe has identified Declan Rice as a ‘big leader’ in the Gunners squad.
Rice has been impressive since joining Arsenal from West Ham United last summer.
The England international has scored three goals and provided two assists in 29 games across competitions for Mike Arteta’s side.
Speaking recently to the club’s website, Smith Rowe said: “It’s great to see Declan here. I knew him a bit from playing with England before, and he’s a great guy.
“Obviously, everyone can see what he’s doing on the pitch—he’s been amazing for us. But off the pitch too and around the training ground, he’s added more leadership.
“The way he demands the best from himself and his teammates is really good. He is one of the big leaders here already.”
