Ally McCoist says Arsenal now have the hardest working player in the Premier League

Arsenal's Hardest Working Player

Ally McCoist believes Mikel Arteta has the hardest-working player in the Premier League at Arsenal.

The Gunners' side has improved defensively in recent seasons, thanks to individual players' work rates. Wingers Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli work hard out of possession, while full-backs cover various positions.

However, McCoist highlights Declan Rice, signed for £100 million in 2023, as the player with the top work ethic. Despite his high price tag, Rice has been outstanding, with his engine, stamina, and ground coverage making him impressive.
