The best midfielder in the Premier League currently is Manchester City’s Rodri, according to Arsenal star, Declan Rice.
When Rice signed with Arsenal for £105m earlier this summer, he set a record for the most expensive British player ever.
The 24-year-old was one of several prominent midfielders who were lavishly acquired by Premier League clubs.
Chelsea have surpassed their own British transfer record twice in the last year to sign Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo, while Romeo Lavia, Matheus Nunes, and Dominik Szoboszlai have also recently been bought for large prices.
However, with all the cash being splashed, Rice told Channel 4 that one player still stands head and shoulders above the rest ahead of England’s international friendly against Scotland: “Obviously the main one in the Premier League is Rodri, he’s incredible,” he said.

“What a player he is, the way he works, the way he keeps that Man City team ticking, you know he’s a top player.”
Rodri was recently nominated for the Ballon d’Or following an astonishing 2022/23 campaign with City.
The Spaniard scored the winning goal in the UEFA Champions League final to secure not only the club’s first ever European Cup, but also a historic treble after success in the Premier League and FA Cup.
