Former midfielder Danny Murphy said Declan Rice has become a well-rounded player in Arsenal's midfield. He added that the Arsenal midfielder could score more goals if he were more selfish in his play. The comments were made during a discussion on BBC Sport in which Kelly Cates and Micah Richards also assessed Rice's development. The debate centred on whether Rice's contribution in central midfield could be made more direct in the final third.
