Paul Merson has claimed £105million Arsenal star Declan Rice is better than £115million Chelsea star Moises Caicedo.

Merson told Sky Sports: “With Declan Rice, when you weigh him and Moises Caicedo up, it’s so different. Rice gives you everything.

“It’s 1-1 and Arsenal have really got to win the game if they want to keep tabs with Manchester City. He’s on and he scores the goal.

“On Saturday, Chelsea are 1-0 down and they take Caicedo off. They’re both holding-midfield players but one gives you a lot more.

“If Rice can throw goals into his game then I dread to think how much he’s worth.”
