Arsenal midfielder Smith Rowe: I never realised Rice so good

Arsenal midfielder Emile Smith Rowe has sung the praises of Declan Rice.

Arsenal have had a £105m offer for Rice accepted by West Ham.

Smith Rowe said from England's U21 Euros base: "I can't speak highly enough of him.

“I remember my first camp and I was surprised with how good he actually was."

Smith Rowe also told The Sun: “He was the best in training. Just his level, intensity, technically, everything he was doing. A real leader and still so young. He was really, really good."
