How Midfielder Declan Rice’s Move To Arsenal Improved His Game

Declan Rice’s £105m move to Arsenal has lifted his game — he’s become a box-to-box threat with more goals, assists and set-piece delivery, helping Arsenal win the 2026 Premier League.
He’s now viewed as a future England captain, Ballon d’Or contender and key World Cup hopeful alongside leaders like Harry Kane.
Terry Butcher says moving to a bigger club forces a mental step up and is optimistic England — with this squad and manager — can make a deep World Cup run.
