Newcastle United defender Kieran Trippier has claimed that West Ham captain Declan Rice is better than Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey and Manchester United star Casemiro.
Partey has enjoyed an excellent season in north London, establishing himself as one of the Gunners' most important players in a campaign that sees them currently five points clear at the top of the Premier League table. Still, that hasn't stopped Rice from being linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium and football.london understands that the England international is Mikel Arteta's primary transfer target for the summer window.
Now, Magpies' right-back Trippier had heaped praise on his international teammate, hailing him as one of the best holding midfielders in the world. "Declan’s unbelievable," the former Tottenham Hotspur man told Rio Ferdinand's Vibe with FIVE podcast.
