Arsenal's Declan Rice Names 0-Cap Englishman as his 'Most Underrated' Teammate Ever

Declan Rice, Arsenal’s England midfielder, has identified Mark Noble as his “most underrated” teammate, despite having played alongside several major names. Speaking to Swedish broadcaster Viaplay in a rapid-fire segment, Rice was asked first who the best player he’s played with is—he selected England captain and Bayern Munich star Harry Kane—before naming Noble. Rice said he overlooked current Arsenal teammates and pointed to Noble, who spent his entire senior career at West Ham (2015–2022 as a club teammate of Rice), totaling 550 appearances after loan spells at Hull City and Ipswich Town. Noble never earned a senior international cap, though he represented England at youth levels.
