‘Imagine him in midfield now’: Steven Gerrard names Arsenal player he’d love to have seen at Liverpool
Steven Gerrard believes that Liverpool should have made a stronger push for the signing of Declan Rice from West Ham United before he joined Arsenal .
Speaking on the Smiths’ Brothers podcast, the Liverpool legend stated: “He’s maybe one we should have tried to grab from West Ham.
“I don’t know whether we did or not, but I think he’d have been brilliant for us. I mean, imagine him in midfield now.”
Rice joined Arsenal in July, 2023 for a club record fee of £105m. The Englishman has made 18 appearances in the 2025/26 Premier League for the Gunners, scoring two goals and providing two assists in all competitions.
