Declan Rice names player he would love to play with

Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice in a recent statement named Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard as the player he would have loved to play with.

During his football career, Gerrard was rated one of the best midfielders in the game for both club and country.

The former Liverpool captain famously led the Reds to a three-goal comeback win against a premier AC Milan side in the 2005-2006 UFEA Champions League final from three goals down.

During his time in the Premier League, Gerrard was also compared with Chelsea legend Frank Lampard.

However, Rice, who happens to be a former Chelsea academy player, opted for Gerrard over Lampard in his dream pick.

The English midfielder said (via @LFCTransferRoom on X):

“I’m gonna go with Stevie G. Him and Lamps (Lampard) were always compared.

“I could say Lamps as well. I adore him as a player, but Stevie G, there’s something about him.”
