Gabriel, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Gabriel Jesus, and Aaron Ramsdale are the players to whom Declan Rice has grown closest since his arrival at Arsenal.

Prior to crossing the capital, the former West Ham United star, who signed with the Emirates for a club-record sum in the summer, would have known Ramsdale from their time together with England. However, he was unaware of the other three team-mates.

Some of Arsenal’s late victories this season have been characterized by their camaraderie and connection with Rice, who was long anticipated to join a top-six club and contribute to the team’s value. The England international has been eager to immerse himself in the Emirates milieu with trophies as his primary objective.

As a matter of fact, he stated on the club’s website: “I’ve developed a number of genuinely fine relationships here. There are numerous distinct cultures present, and Gabriel Maghalaes and I are extremely close; we get along splendidly. Additionally, Aaron Ramsdale, Gabriel Jesus, and Alex Zinchenko.

“I am sociable and comfortable conversing with all members of the team; it’s wonderful to have positive relationships with such a wide variety of individuals. “As I observe my surroundings, I conclude that these are the individuals with whom I wish to collaborate for the foreseeable future and achieve success.”

The Arsenal squad is comprised of players of various nationalities who were raised in diverse footballing cultures. Mikel Arteta has developed his own style of play during his time at the Emirates, and Rice believes that Arteta’s development as a player has been influenced by this philosophy.

He continued, “They have taught me so much.” “Consider Gabriel and I as an example. Although we come from entirely different backgrounds and have entirely different personalities, as well as play football in entirely different ways, we have developed a truly wonderful friendship and learn so much from one another.

“Everyone recognizes and appreciates the fact that the Premier League and Arsenal are such a multicultural environment; that is precisely what I adore about them.” Every single participant in this group gets along well with the others. “For this reason, this group is truly exceptional.”

In an effort to live up to the £105 million valuation he received, Rice has dominated games from the center of the park. Significant moments have also been produced by the former Hammer, including game-changing goals against Manchester United and Chelsea.
