Breaking news:”He’s the only Arsenal star that amazes me a lot- If i have the player of his type of qualities here in Spurs, I’m sure we would have been the one topping the table instead of Arsenal”- Tottenham Boss Ange Postecoglou admits Arsenal’s ‘gentle’ star is an absolute quality and the reason why Arsenal are topping the table.

In a surprising turn of events, Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou recently commended an Arsenal player, recognizing the pivotal role played by a 24-year-old star in their current table-topping position. The praise came as part of a broader conversation about West Ham United’s summer transfers, particularly mentioning Declan Rice, a familiar face from the Arsenal squad.

Postecoglou acknowledged Rice’s exceptional qualities, emphasizing the importance of strategic planning when parting ways with key players. While this might not sit well with Tottenham fans, the manager couldn’t deny the merit of praising an outstanding player like Rice.

According to Postecoglou, Rice has become a cornerstone for Arsenal, alongside William Saliba and Bukayo Saka. He expressed admiration for Rice, highlighting the challenge of recalling any negative moments the midfielder has had in an Arsenal shirt.

Despite the hefty transfer fee paid for Rice in the summer, his consistent and outstanding performances have justified the investment. Postecoglou hinted at the player’s pivotal role, speculating on whether Rice will continue to excel in his position.

The impact of the Arsenal midfielder was notably felt in crucial moments, such as the North London Derby, where his absence in the second half due to injury left a void in the team. Postecoglou sees Rice as a captain in waiting, underscoring his growing importance to the success of Arsenal.

While Arsenal’s future looks promising, Postecoglou’s acknowledgment adds to the broader recognition of Rice’s influence, further solidifying his crucial role in the team’s achievements.
