Declan Rice has told Rio Ferdinand he believes Arsenal can become one of the 'best teams in the world' under Mikel Arteta ahead of the new Premier League season getting underway.
The England international secured a £105million transfer to the Emirates at the start of the summer and has been working hard to settle into the demands of playing under the club's Spanish coach.
Rice has already tasted silverware for the first time in new surroundings after Arsenal beat Manchester City to win the Community Shield and is eagerly anticipating an opening Premier League encounter against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
