Arsenal signing Rice full of praise for Trossard

Arsenal signing Declan Rice has sung the praises of Leandro Trossard.

Summer arrival Rice admits the pair have quickly hit it off.

He told Sky Sports: "You know what? I think from the first day when I was there, Leandro Trossard.

"You wouldn't put us two together, I would say, but he's a really, really top guy.

"I sat next to him on the plane. I've been with him here quite a lot. He's just an all-round top person.

"I've really got on with him and playing against him in the past as well, he was always a pain so it's nice to have him on my side now.

"He's such a top player, but I feel like with everyone here, like all of the Brazilian guys, the Portuguese guys, the French guys, like everyone is so top, and from the outside you see Arsenal was like a big family together.

"And that's exactly what it is inside the dressing room, which is really good."
