Kieran Tierney reveals what Arsenal new-boy Declan Rice told him about the dressing room as he insists he is happy at the club despite speculation over his future
- Declan Rice completed his big money move to Arsenal earlier this month
- The English midfielder has played his first two games for the club
Kieran Tierney has given fans some insight into how Declan Rice is finding life with his new team-mates.
Rice completed his move to the Gunner from West Ham in a move worth over £100m earlier this month.
The midfielder has since played his first two games for the club, a 5-0 win over the MLS All-Stars and a 2-0 defeat to Manchester United.
Speaking to The Athletic, Tierney revealed: ‘Declan actually said the other day he feels like he’s been so long.
‘It’s such a close group, great team-mates, great staff so I think they’re all loving it [the new signings].’

On the speculation about his future, Tierney added: ‘It’s not really up to me (my future). I’m happy, I’m working hard every day and getting minutes. I’m just trying to do as well as I can.
‘You can’t play every single game, every single season, every single year. I don’t expect that and I still made a lot of appearances last year. I was ready every game and working 100 per cent.
‘I think everyone in there would agree with that, that I never give less than that whether I’m playing or not.’
