In remarks made to the media, Manchester City’s manager, Pep Guardiola, expressed admiration for Arsenal’s Declan Rice by suggesting he is a player highly coveted by all Premier League clubs.
Last summer, Man City fell short in their pursuit of Rice from West Ham, as the Gunners clinched the signing by breaking their transfer record with a £105 million deal for the English international.
Rice has since proven his worth with exceptional performances for Mikel Arteta’s squad.
In his upcoming match against formidable opponents such as Rodri, Kevin De Bruyne, and Bernardo Silva, Rice will face one of the sternest challenges in his Arsenal tenure so far.
Guardiola’s comments revealed his belief that Declan Rice’s talents would attract interest from all Premier League teams, not just Manchester City.
