Former Man City player Didi Hamann has said that an Arsenal player is “complete” agreeing with Micah Richards, who said he was one of the world’s best.
Arsenal are currently top of the Premier League, and preparing for their next game against Sunderland before the November international break. They come off a 2-0 win over Burnley at the weekend, in which goals came from Viktor Gyokeres and Declan Rice.

The latter was excellent again as he not only scored himself, but also put the corner ball in which led up to Gyokeres’ opening goal. Rice has become a vital part of Mikel Arteta’s XI, and former Man City star Didi Haman believes he is one of the best in the Premier League.
Hamann told footballblog.co.uk: “Declan Rice at Arsenal is probably the best midfielder in the league right now. He’s just got a physicality to his game.
“He nicks a goal now. He’s just an all-round player, and I think what he does is make others better. I’ve given him some criticism in the past, but at this moment, he deserves our praise because he is looking like the complete midfielder.”
Micah Richards agrees with Hamann on Arsenal star Rice
Hamann isn’t the only former player to have given Rice a lot of praise recently, as former Man City and Aston Villa star Micah Richards is also a huge fan.
He said earlier this week: “He’s taken his game to the next level now where you’re taking about one of the best in world football. We saw at West Ham a very good player and I remember some pundits criticised him a little bit in terms of what he is and what’s his best position but he’s everything in that midfield.
“He can do everything and he’s consistently putting in these performances which mean we have to start talking about him as one of the best players I world football. It is so good to see and if Arsenal do win the Premier League this season it will be because players like him. I said at the start that it’s a team game but he’s just exceeding all expectations.”
