Mikel Arteta is backing Declan Rice to win the Ballon d'Or after an 'immense' start to the season for Arsenal.
Rice put in a man-of-the-match display against Bayern Munich midweek, following on from a string of impressive displays for club and country in this campaign.
He's scored two goals and provided six assists across all competitions after being deployed in a role further up the pitch by Arteta this season.
It has helped propel the north London club to the top of the Premier League and Champions League.
