"Rice has shown extraordinary standards both in the club and the national team. He is really outstanding." - Tuchel

The Premier League's number one midfielder, worth speaks for itself.

The well-informed Tuchel can express heartfelt praise, which is evident in Rice's recent hot state. In England's World Cup preliminaries against Wales, Tuchel's starting lineup did not include players from Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea. Two Arsenal players (Rice & Saka) became the leaders of the team. Rice's two precise passes determined the course of the game.

In the latest Premier League player value list released by the German transfer market, Rice is worth 120 million pounds, surpassing Caicedo and Rodri, becoming the veritable number one midfielder in the Premier League. In addition to having balanced skills and versatile attributes, another advantage of Rice is his extremely high attendance rate, which is particularly important in today's intensive schedule.

Arsenal has two lineups, and the iron man also needs a rest.

After the big purchases in the 2025 summer window, Arsenal's rotation has reached 25 people. There are no idlers under Arteta, and the two lineups are enough to cope with the multi-line journey. In an interview not long ago, Rice said that he would fight for multiple championships with Arsenal and help the England national team go far in the World Cup. This may be the reason why he has insisted on continuous fighting in the near future.

Rice is indispensable for Arsenal, but Merino, Eze and Nergaard are all capable of sharing his pressure. Rodri's lesson comes first, Arteta should also give Rice enough rest time, and the Iron Man also needs to be taken care of.
