Rice: How Arteta introduced me to Arsenal teammates

Declan Rice has revealed how manager Mikel Arteta introduced him to Arsenal.

Rice arrived at the beginning of the summer market.

He recalled on Tubes and Ange Golf Life: "I was a bit nervous.

"The first day I was down there on the Sunday, the lads weren't in but I come out of the physio room and Arteta, just like little things he does, he put like a sticker on me saying, 'Hello I'm the new person'.

"He just walked in and put it on my chest. All the 18s and 21s in the canteen and I'm walking through trying to hide my chest! Just little things like that."
