Declan Rice Receives 'The Horse' Nickname from Arsenal Teammates

Declan Rice, Arsenal's record signing, has embraced the nickname 'the horse' given to him by his teammates due to his relentless stamina and athleticism on the field. After a slow start to the season, Rice has regained his form, highlighted by his man of the match performance in Arsenal's recent 5-1 victory over Manchester City. Injuries to key players like Bukayo Saka have increased his responsibilities, which he has met with impressive performances, contributing three goals and seven assists this season. The warm weather training camp in Dubai follows a similar trip last year that bolstered the team's form, and Rice remains optimistic about their chances in the title race, currently sitting six points behind Liverpool. Despite being out of both the FA Cup and Carabao Cup, Arsenal is focused on their Premier League and Champions League efforts. Rice's influence in the squad and his physical condition have made him a pivotal player as they push for silverware this season.
