"Arteta effect": Declan Rice scored more goals for Arsenal than for West Ham

Arsenal defeated Newcastle 1-0 at home in the 37th round of the English Premier League. The only and decisive goal in this match was scored by the central midfielder of the "Gunners" Declan Rice.

This goal was the 26-year-old player's 16th goal for Arsenal, which is more than the number of goals he scored in his entire career at West Ham (15). Thus, Rice showed more results in fewer matches for his new club - 16 goals in 102 matches for Arsenal, and 15 goals in 245 matches for West Ham.

It should be recalled that Declan Rice joined Arsenal in the summer of 2023 for 116 million euros, which was recorded as the most expensive transfer deal in the history of the "Gunners". To this day, he continues to prove that he is returning a decent return on the money spent.

Rice is in his second season at Arsenal and the team has shown great confidence in him. Along with his defensive functions, the player's attacking prowess is also an important factor in the team's fight for the top flight.
