Paul Merson has named his Signing of the Season in the Premier League.
There have been a number of quality signings in the Premier League this term.
Cole Palmer has basically been a one man army at Chelsea, Alexis Mac Allister has been excellent for Liverpool, while Mohammed Kudus has lit up the London Stadium for West Ham.
However, writing for SportsKeeda, Paul Merson has named Arsenal’s Declan Rice as the signing of the season, claiming that the midfielder has taken Arsenal to another level and has been at least a 7/10 in every single game he has played this term.
Declan Rice hasn’t had a bad game
Merson spoke highly of Rice when naming him as Signing of the Season.
“Signing of the Season: Declan Rice – He’s taken Arsenal to another level and has been at least a 7/10 in every Premier League game this season,” Merson wrote.
Declan Rice hasn’t put a foot wrong
Merson is right, it’s hard to remember a single game in which Declan Rice hasn’t been solid.
Fulham away may be the only example where Rice has been less than a 7/10, but other than that he has been absolutely stellar.
The England international has taken to life at Arsenal like a duck to water, and he’s really elevated the Gunners to that next level.
Unfortunately, Rice’s debut season at Arsenal is likely to end without a Premier League trophy, but if the midfielder’s former club, West Ham, can do Arsenal a favour and get a result against Manchester City this weekend, then Arsenal could still end up as champions.
Whether they win the league or not, Arsenal’s capture of Rice this summer has to be considered one of the best signings of the season in the Premier League.
