Arsenal Comparing Declan Rices stats with Xhaka and Parteys

The figures for Xhaka and Partey are compared to Arsenal's 22-23 stats. If a deal is finalised this year, Rice, Mikel Arteta's top priority, will surpass Nicolas Pepe's £72 million price tag as Arsenal's most expensive acquisition ever. The Premier League's top team wants to strengthen its roster. However, they didn't have much luck in the January transfer window, as Chelsea signed Mykhailo Mudryk and Joao Felix before them.

When questioned about the probable purchase on talk  SPORT, former England midfielder Danny Murphy responded, "I believe it would be a massive, huge move for Arsenal."

You're getting an English midfielder who fans can relate to because they know he can succeed in the Premier League in addition to a wonderful player who, if things continue, will likely stay there for the remainder of his career.

He will improve, and I believe he will have more opportunities to score goals.

One of his generation's top defensive midfielders, Rice is highly rated. The West Ham team that finished sixth and seventh in the Premier League in back-to-back seasons and advanced to the Europa League semi-final in 2022 included the 24-year-old as a key member.

He has started each of England's five games in the 2022 World Cup, making him a staple at the international level.

According to estimates, Rice will cost £80 million, however the price may be lower if the Hammers are relegated in May. Rice is expected to be the focus of a bidding battle in the summer.

We've crunched the data to compare Rice's Premier League stats this season with those of Xhaka and Partey, but with Arsenal practically already certain of Champions League qualifying at the very least, we did this.
