Darren Bent confesses he has changed his mind on ‘outstanding’ Arsenal star who is “better than he thought’
Darren Bent has admitted that Declan Rice is ‘better than I thought’ after watching him last season compared to this campaign.
Thomas Partey, who has been out injured for much of the season, was the team’s primary defensive brain in the middle of the park.
He was a key figure, and there were many debates about who was better: the Ghana star or the England international.
Darren Bent has changed his mind, and he now believes Declan Rice is the better player.
“But having Declan Rice in there,” said Bent. “He is one of those players for Arsenal where you sit back and think ‘it will always be alright because he is there’.
“We won’t win every game, but we stand more of a chance by having him in the middle of the park. He has been outstanding, but that’s what £100 million gets you.
“Yeah, he is better than I thought. Last season, if you had asked me, who was better, Partey or him? I would have said Partey. For 3/4 of the season, he was unbelievable.”
