Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has hailed the qualities that Declan Rice will add to his young squad.

Arteta describes the England midfielder as a “lighthouse”, who will make other players better.

The Spaniard was speaking on the sidelines on the opening day of their US tour on Monday.

Rice, Jurrien Timber and Kai Havertz, who all joined the Gunners this summer, trained at the George Mason University in Washington DC.

On what qualities Rice brings to the team, Arteta said: “His leadership, his aura, the experience he already has in the league.

“He’s going to bring our team to a different dimension.

“He’s got the physical qualities as well that we’ve been missing for a while. That’s why we had to do what we did to get him because it was really important for us.”
