Declan Rice is rightly regarded as one of the best central midfielders in the world—so it’s perhaps no surprise that he’s racked up 100 Premier League appearances for Arsenal in the blink of an eye.
Rice is the 73rd player since the Premier League’s inception in 1992 to register this particular milestone for Arsenal and the eighth active player to reach his ton. What will matter more to Rice is silverware at the end of the season—the Gunners are seeking to end a 22-year title drought that has yielded three successive runners-up finishes—but it’s another feather in the cap for a player many supporters feel should be club captain.
