Bukayo Saka joined the chorus of praise for Declan Rice after his stellar performance against AFC Bournemouth. Rice was in a league of his own during the match, contributing not just defensively but also setting up a goal and scoring one himself.
Fans at the Emirates Stadium couldn't help but chant, 'Declan Rice, we got him half price,' acknowledging his exceptional value on the pitch. Saka, echoing the sentiment, took to social media to commend his teammate.
When Rice posted on Instagram about his successful day at the office, Saka playfully quipped, "He's only half price," adding a musical note emoji.
The banter references the intense transfer tussle between Arsenal and Manchester City for Rice's signature. While City baulked at West Ham's £100m+ asking price, Arsenal splashed out £105m to secure the midfielder.
Since joining the Gunners, Rice has become a mainstay in the midfield, racking up an impressive 49 appearances, with seven goals and ten assists to his name.
