Henry: Arsenal shift taking Rice game to new level

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry says Declan Rice is taking his game to a new level this season.

Henry can see Rice thriving in a more advanced position as an Arsenal player.

He said: "People were talking about, and I know that I am going off last season, okay, [Granit] Xhaka last season, oh he is better. No, he is not better.

"He plays in a different position, so you cannot see his weaknesses where he used to lose the ball more often than not.

"Declan Rice, we know that he is magnificent there, but he playing higher than he has ever played in his career.

"So, obviously he is at the end of movement to give assist and to score goals. Look at him the run he made, you know the header against Luton when he goes into the box.

"He wants the ball, he is there, he is allowed because he has Jorginho under."
