EPL: Smith Rowe identifies ‘big leader’ in Arsenal squad

In the world of English Premier League, Emile Smith Rowe has recognized Declan Rice as a key leader within the Arsenal squad. Since his move from West Ham United last summer, Rice has made an impressive impact, contributing three goals and two assists in 29 appearances across various competitions for the team under the management of Mike Arteta.

During a recent conversation with the club’s website, Smith Rowe mentioned, “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.”

The recognition of Rice’s leadership qualities, both on and off the field, signifies his significant role within the Arsenal team.
