Last summer, Arsenal and Chelsea simultaneously signed expensive contracts to strengthen the midfield. With the Gunners, they got the signature of Declan Rice through a deal worth £105m, while the Blues took up to £115m to sign Moises Caicedo.
From the point of view of William Gallas, with what has been shown in the new team, it can be said that Rice is a better quality contract. The former French defender commented:

Rice was praised.
“Present, It must be said that Declan Rice is a better signing than Moises Caicedo. Right from the first match, Rice played as if he had played for Arsenal for a year. You can see his commitment to Arsenal, his communication with the players around him, knowing where he has to move and when to get the ball. Rice can operate as a shuttle midfielder.”
“For me, Rice just needs to score more goals, and then we’ll talk about him at the highest level. But in the future, Rice will be one of the best midfielders in the world. ”
